Forgiveness
Is forgiveness needed - as we find our path?
Is the pain imagined?
No – I can’t applaud!
Yes, indeed, all is illusion
but we do live in this world – it’s clear.
Our pain is real to each of us
till we grow beyond that veneer.
Each step we take is experienced
as yet another stage in life.
As we expand our thinking
our hearts will then arrive.
Yes, forgiveness is needed – for ourselves,
since we only see in part.
Forgiveness is needed - for others
to bind our hearts.
Forgiveness is needed
to learn of Love in greater depth.
Forgiveness is needed
as humanity does cry for it.
No greater example -
as our Christ, Lord Jesus King.
As he hung suspended
between heaven, earth and sin,
He cried out - with what strength remained –
Oh God – forgive them, they know not what they do.
Oh God – forgive them,
their blindness and ignorance – let’s undo!
Oh God – forgive them,
I Love them, oh, so very much!
Oh God – forgive them,
as He took His very last gasp.
The earth was dark in silence
as righteous shame was felt.
Our Holy God - just - Gave His Son
To forgive us – yet He still descended - to greater depths.
ALL is forgiven - nothing ever changes that!
ALL is forgiven –
His work is done –
We now can rest!
