I FORGIVE

I know you, I say

I molded that flesh in which you stay.

Though I breathed my own spirit into you,

I was there when you got betrayed by the fool.

And even though I came down, and went even deeper,

I rose again, and lifted you from being a mere sinner.

I restored you, redeemed you to myself,

I knew it won’t be easy, so I sent you a Help.

My Word tells you my child,

That there will be need to renew your mind.

Didn’t it also say,

Come boldly before the throne of grace,

That you may obtain mercy?

Shall I have mercy on you,

If you were perfect like me?

Be not ashamed,

But repent and take my hand.

I am always here for you,

And you will always have need of me.

Cry not, my dearest,

For though I was grieved,

I can never my love not give.

Ask, and I will forgive you,

And I will give you my peace.
