Be generous with your mercy,
Do as you ask me to do.
Recognize pain in each other
And help each other get through.
Don’t look to the offense given,
Look through the offenders eyes.
If there is room for forbearance,
Give it, with all that implies.
Bear patiently, the impatient,
Allow them some extra grace.
There have been times in abundance
When you have stood in their place.
You ask that I should forgive you
Your often repeated sins,
Don’t forget that forgiveness is
Not where it ends, but begins.
You know that I will embrace you
Or help you up when you fall,
So reach your hand to another
Whenever you hear them call.
To learn what I have been teaching
You have to match word and deed.
Be generous with your mercy,
For often that’s all we need.
