Forgive From Your Heart

 

He died to wash my sins from me,
Each transgression is gone.
Now it falls upon me to take
His grace and pass it on.
 
If I accept His forgiveness,
Then I must offer mine
To those who have sinned against me,
All those who’ve crossed the line.
 
Some people make that difficult.
That much I know is true,
But we must forgive, let it go,
As He’s called us to do.
 
The weight of bitterness and wrath
Will tear a heart apart,
But letting it go, forgiving,
Gives that heart a new start.
 
No matter what someone might do,
To me through lies or strife,
It’s small when compared to the sins
He bore to cleanse my life.
 
We have to live fully in Him
Letting bygones be gone.
You have not received heaven’s grace
If you can’t pass it on.
 
Matthew 18:35
So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.
