Sought God’s forgiveness.
Melodies creating symphony sung through my solitary heart that I was wrong
Forgiveness isn’t something that should be taken away but received
Fought the devils beliefs and changed the way I am.
Forgiveness is not an element that should be sold
Forgiveness has blossomed through my melancholy, sombre heart like cheery
blossom, blossom on a Coolabah tree.
Tribulations are over, it’s time to stop and reflect as a congregation through
prayer about wrong doings.
Let forgiveness flow like a river and let it dry
This is symbolic of us washing away our sins from God
Forgiveness is a time to ‘Stop and Reflect ‘TICK, Tock, Tick Tock
An element that is bold
Forgiveness has changed my heart and brightened up my future
Holy Spirit came upon me and gave me wisdom, knowledge,
understanding and courage.
Ears are listening more to the way Jesus lived
Eyes are seeing and judging like Jesus did
Strive together to be a role model and a follower of the Messiah.
