Let me not look upon church members or even the pastor
Allow forgiveness of others to come easily to me
Permit grudges from the past to flee
I desire the sweet spirit of my Lord
Rather than employ words that cut like a sword
Help me overlook humans weak and frail
Let your spirit of forgiveness always prevail
Teach me to be meek and mild
And have the quick forgiveness of a small child
Enable me to disregard the mistakes of others
We all on this Earth are sisters and brothers
Let me not with my self-righteousness be puffed up
But remember Christ when in Gethsemane He drank from the bitter cup
While on the Cross He forgave sinful humanity
Demonstrating the true essence of Christianity
