Paul Gordon - Forgiveness lyrics

HELEN You mustn't be revengeful You have to be strong To offer good for evil Return right for wrong We must not hold a grudge And we must learn to endure Then as God is your judge At least your heart will be pure Forgiveness Is the mightiest sword Forgiveness of those you hate Will be your highest reward When they bruise you with words When they make you feel small When it's hardest to bear You must do nothing at all Forgiveness Is the simplest vow Forgiveness Of all their crimes Is your deliverance now Bless those souls Who would curse your name When the last bell tolls You'll be free of blame You can continue to grieve But know the Gospel is true You must forgive those who lie And bless them that curse you Forgiveness Is the mightiest sword Forgiveness of those you hate Will be your highest reward The time will come when we will leave this world, And then the injustice and the pain and the sin will fall away from us, And only the spark of the spirit will remain - returning to God who created it You must never lose faith You must never lose heart God will restore your trust And I know you're afraid I'm as scared as you are But willing to be brave Brave enough for love
