I FORGIVE
Is there a place in heaven for sinners?
Is there a place for me?
What about murderers, rapists and thieves?
Surely there cannot be!
Is there a place in heaven for Judas?
Is there a place for me?
If Christ can forgive his betrayal of Him
Surely there’s hope for me!
Was his sin worse than Peter’s or mine?
Didn’t he love Jesus too?
Was his agony easier to bear than my own?
Did he love our Lord less than you?
Did he ask for forgiveness as he took his life?
Was his place kept at Jesus’ side?
He was only a tool in the hands of the Jews,
He was filled with remorse as he died!
If there’s a place in heaven for sinners
I must forgive others their sins.
For in our Lord’s Kingdom all sins count the same,
Unforgiving, I’ll not be let in!
