"On Forgiveness and Healing"

You took my broken heart and made it whole.
You took my shattered life, You healed my soul.

You gave me hope,
You gave me strength, so I could carry on.

I was so all alone, no place to call my own;
I had no home.

You filled a void in me, You gave me eyes to see.
You gave me peace within.

I placed my life into Your hands,
A childish trust, not one I'd planned.

You wrapped me up into Your arms.
You held me close, free from harm.

You whispered in my ear, so soft that I could barely hear,
"Forgive, my child, and be healed."

My heart sings out to You, for all eternity;
The wounds, the hurts are but a memory.

But this I know, I know forevermore: 
 "Forgive, my child, and be healed."
