They were all at his mercy, vulnerable,
needing his kindness, his
grace;
In a moment of power, there
was forgiveness
he offered them love
instead
He saw the plan, the hand
of God
giving them grace they
didn’t deserve;
in a moment of power, he
offered forgiveness
wiping the slate clean
He gave them more than
they deserved
life, love, mercy,
compassion;
He chose to heal the
brokenness
the rift that was between
them
He drew them close to him
in mercy and in love;
He chose love,
forgiveness
to heal the family
