Forgive!

Forgive when you are broken

Forgive when you are numb

Forgive when you are forgotten

Forgive when you heal

Forgive because bitterness is a cage

Not for the offender nor the offense but the offended

Forgive because the numbness limits your progress

The hurt puts you in chains

Forgive because it scares away the little foxes

Forgive so that your vine stays healthy

Forgive because you have been instructed

Forgive because it’s a command

A commandment from your owner
He knows the danger you face when you don’t forgive

Forgive because it heals your body and His body

Forgive!

End of the tunnel

Do you feel alone?
Zoned by doubt and fear, feel owned?
Praying for water to wash your stones?
Worry not! Your sins are atoned

Lost in this vast darkness?
Listen!!! HE says let there be light!
Why not re-invite to reignite your might
Let him cure your fright to catch your flight

She was made whole by HIS clothe
12 years!!! HE cured her flow
Defeated death by the touch of HIS hands
Sickness flees at HIS command

Are you at that crossroad?
The crossroad of giving up?
Why not cast your cares on HIM
Cos HE cares!
