I then shall live as one who's been forgiven; I'll walk with joy to know my debts are paid. I know my name is clear before my Father; I am his child, and I am not afraid. So greatly pardoned, I'll forgive an other; the law of love I gladly will obey.
I then shall live as one who's learned compassion; I've been so loved that I'll risk loving, too. I now how fear builds walls instead of bridges; I dare to see an other's point of view. And when relationships demand commitment, then I'll be there to care and follow through.
Your kingdom come around and through and in me, your power and glory, let them shine through me; your hallowed name, oh, may I bear the honor, and may your living kingdom come in me. The Bread of Life, oh, may I share with honor, and may you feed a hungry world through me.
I posted this hymn one year ago. The morning we sand it at church, I taped it to my bathroom mirror. It speaks volumes. The song still speaks to me today and everyday. I have loved being at a church that sings old hymns and discovering treasures of songs. I wanted to post this today, again. It is rich.
May we live our lives as forgiven.
May our lives reflect compassion.
This is my prayer.
