BUT
JESUS SAID I MUST FORGIVE
Oh, Lord, my
heart is breaking, and my pillow drips with tears.
I toss and turn through sleepless nights with all my
doubts and fears.
I can’t forget the one who caused my tortured heart such
grief.
I think about it day and night, and cannot find relief.
BUT JESUS SAID I MUST FORGIVE.

The
one who brought such pain to me should live in anguish
too,
And know the awful suffering that I am going through.
I think of retribution, and of ways with which to pay
For all the hurt and sorrow that was caused to come my
way.
BUT
JESUS SAID I MUST FORGIVE.

Dear Lord, I think of all the sins that I
am guilty of,
And how You died upon the cross because of Your great
love,
So I could be forgiven, with eternity in view.
Forgive me for forgetting I should be forgiving too!
FOR YOU HAVE SAID I MUST FORGIVE.

Repentant tears are flowing now, as truly I
forgive
The one who took away my joy and my desire to live.
And now my heart is overflowing with a joy that’s new,
So thank You, Lord, for bringing back my fellowship with
You,
AND LOVING ME, AS I FORGIVE.
