Forgiveness
Forgiveness - it's a blessingWhen a heart that once was stone
Stops exalting its own self
And lets Christ reign from His throne.
Forgiveness - it's a blessing
When all bitterness departs
When the
water of the Word
Purifies a broken heart.
Forgiveness - it's a blessing
Though sometimes walking by sight
Now
reaching for God's promises
By faith, grasping them tight.
Forgiveness - it's a blessing
Though blackest sins barred the
way
With rivers of mercy flowing
Christ can wash them all away.
Forgiveness - it's a blessing
Eternal life by God's grace
With joy,
looking to Heaven
And beholding our Saviour's face.
