forgiveness
A poem by Karen Hoover
A lovely poem, written from the heart, about a subject we all should know more about.
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
I read His words.
I hear His voice.
I feel His love so true.
I know I can be forgiven of the many wrongs I do.
I know He will extend His mercy, unto sinners such as me and you.
Because He said,
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Down on my knees, I plead for His grace, with all the energy of my soul.
For His mercy and His love, to save this unworthy soul.
For His mercy and His love, to save this unworthy soul.
Oh, how I long to feel His eternal power.
Knowing forgiveness is attainable and mine.
Given from a loving God, full of grace divine.
O, wretched sinner that I am, unworthy of His love.
He gave His life so I can return home, and live with Him above.
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
I hear Him, I feel his love, I know what He says is true.
He will forgive me, and remember my sins no more.
Forgive me, forgive me, I implore.
I read His words.
I hear His voice.
I feel His love so true.
I know I can be forgiven of the many wrongs I do.
I know He will extend His mercy, unto sinners such as me and you.
Because He said,
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Down on my knees, I plead for His grace, with all the energy of my soul.
For His mercy and His love, to save this unworthy soul.
For His mercy and His love, to save this unworthy soul.
Oh, how I long to feel His eternal power.
Knowing forgiveness is attainable and mine.
Given from a loving God, full of grace divine.
O, wretched sinner that I am, unworthy of His love.
He gave His life so I can return home, and live with Him above.
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
I hear Him, I feel his love, I know what He says is true.
He will forgive me, and remember my sins no more.
Forgive me, forgive me, I implore.
