Deep within my soul, the urge for vengeance burns
But You, Jesus, showed me a higher way to learn
With Your boundless love, You taught me to forgive
As the Messiah who saved me, I must also live

In Your example, I find the strength to change
To let go of my pain and break free from my rage
Though the world may call for retaliation's roar
I seek Your path, and peace at my core

Teach me, Lord, to forgive as You forgave
To conquer my will, and let go of my rage
As You, the Messiah, gave us the gift of love
I strive to follow, and lift the gift from above

When my enemies rise
and resentment starts to grow
Your word echoes in me, and my spirit starts to glow
You paid the price, revealing the truth so clear
Forgiveness is a gift, and it's my freedom here

In Your example, I find the strength to change
To let go of my pain and break free from my rage
Though the world may call for retaliation's roar
I seek Your path, and peace at my core

Teach me, Lord, to forgive as You forgave
To conquer my will, and let go of my rage
As You, the Messiah, gave us the gift of love
I strive to follow, and lift the gift from above

In moments of weakness, when pain tries to take hold
I remember Your sacrifice, and Your power unfolds
In my frailty, You are my strength and light
Guide me, Lord, to forgive as You show me the right

Teach me, Lord, to forgive as You forgave
To conquer my will, and let go of my rage
As You, the Messiah, gave us the gift of love
I strive to follow, and lift the gift from above

In Your love, I find the way to truly live
Following Your example, I'll learn to forgive
As You saved us with love that's beyond compare
I offer forgiveness, as a gift from Your care
