in a moment of power, forgiveness – v2


standing before their brother
at his mercy, vulnerable
needing his kindness, his grace
in a moment of power, forgiveness
offering them love

seeing the plan of God
the path he had walked
offering them grace
in a moment of power, forgiveness
wiping the slate clean

giving them more than they deserved
life, love, mercy, forgiveness,
to heal the brokenness
the rift that was between them
offering them brotherly love

drawing them close to him
the ones who sought to harm him
in mercy and love
seeing God at work
in his life, the world
