Forgive our sins as we forgive
You taught us Lord to pray
But You alone can grant us grace
To live the words we say
How can Your pardon reach and bless
The unforgiving heart
That broods on wrongs and will not let
Old bitterness depart
In blazing light Your cross reveals
The truth we dimly knew
what trivial debts are owed to us
How great our debt to You
Lord cleanse the depths within our souls
And bid resentment cease
then bound to all in bonds of love
Our lives will spread Your peace
