Forgive me, Lord! Forgive me, people,
All who stood beside me, hear my plea!
Forgive me, Lord! Forgive me, people –
For not loving others as I should be.
For holding grudges, never free,
For anger, envy, bitter word,
I’m unworthy – this I see –
Of Your praise, for Your gaze is heard.
Oh, heart – it breathes so gently, low,
From it springs the source we know.
Our fate, our end, our path below –
In our hearts the seeds will grow.
I spoke of “love” so many times,
But did I live it, did I shine?
Forgive me, Lord, for all my crimes,
For not loving as You have taught, divine.
