"FORGIVENESS"  

Then Jesus said,

 

"FATHER, FORGIVE THEM

 

for they know not what they do"
Luke 23:34-

 

 

"FORGIVENESS"

Nothing is as painful,
As unforgiveness to the soul;
A heart that's torn asunder,
With forgiveness becomes whole.



A single kind word spoken
Means more than countless words;
The three words, "I forgive you,"
Are all that need be heard.



To a soul that has been wounded,
Like a healing, cooling balm;
Forgiveness soothes and comforts,
Till at last the soul is calm.



For the soul that seeks forgiveness,
When forgiveness can't be found;
It struggles vainly everyday,
To hear that simple sound.



The power in those three kind words,
Can heal a heart that's broken;
But that heart cannot begin to heal,
As long as words remain unspoken.



Compassion in its purest sense,
Reside in those three words;
The three words, "I forgive you,"
Are all that need be heard.
