#Forgive Others #poetry #God #confess #repent #forgive

Forgive others as you are commanded
Forgive others to be set free
hold onto God, not anger,
He is the source of life…
 
Hold fast to our Savior
The One who gives us life
forgiven by His sacrifice
His choice to climb our cross…
 
Forgive as we have been forgiven
Forgive like Christ, humbly,
all those who have harmed us
who sent Christ to the cross…
