FORGIVENESS IS DIVINE

by JOYCE ANDERSON

FORGIVENSS,FORGIVENESS IS SO DIVINE
ITS HEALING,PRECIOUS HEALING FOR THE MIND
ANGER, WRATH, BITTERNESS AND SCORN
MAKES OUR HEARTS AND MINDS VERY TORN

THE FATHER'S GREAT MERCY SENT FROM ABOVE
INDEED BROUGHT FORGIVENESS AND SO MUCH LOVE
HOW CAN WE HOLD TO HURTS THAT WOUND
WHEN THEY WERE CARRIED TO THE TOMB

OH,LOVE,GRACE AND FORGIVENESS WERE FREE
YES, FROM OUR SAVIOUR WHILE ON THE TREE
FATHER FORGIVE THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO
AND NOW FROM OUR HEARTS WE CAN CRY THIS TOO

FOR BY HIS SPIRIT THAT LIVES THROUGH OUR LIFE
HIS LOVE HAS FREED US FROM THIS STRIFE
SO WHY WOULD WE CHOOSE NOT TO OBEY
THE WORD SAYS FORGIVE THIS IS THE WAY

AS WE CHOOSE TO FORGIVE WE WILL FIND
EVIL THOUGHTS AND ANGER WILL LEAVE OUR MIND
YOU SEE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF WE BELIEVE
AND HIS SPIRIT OUR SOULS WILL RELIEVE

RIGHTEOUSNESS,JOY AND PEACE CAN TRULY BE OURS
FOR SONS OF GOD WE ARE NOW IN THESE HOURS
AS WE BLESS AND FORGIVE OTHERS EVERY DAY
JOY AND PEACE WITHIN US WILL ALWAYS STAY
