77 Be Forgiving
(Psalm 86:5)
Lov - ing - ly Je - ho - vah Made pro - vi - sion through his Son
We re - ceive such mer - cy When we act like God a - bove
Mer - cy is a vir - tue That we all should cul - ti - vate.
For our sins to be for - giv - en And for death to be un - done.
And for - give each oth - er free - ly, Show-ing em - pa - thy and love.
It will keep us from re - sent- ment, From the bit - ter- ness of hate.
If we tru - ly are re - pen - tant, His for - give - ness we can claim
Put - ting up with one an - oth - er, Put-ting hurt - ful - ness a - way;
When we im - i - tate Je - ho - vah, Who is un - sur-passed in love,
On the ba - sis of Christ’s ran - som, Ask - ing par - don in his name.
Show -ing hon - or to our broth - er, Show-ing love’s sur - pass - ing way.
We will tru - ly be for - giv - ing; We will be like God a - bove.
