Ours to Claim

forgiveness is a gift
that frees us from the bitter,
from the stain of self, it lifts
living life for the better.

forgiveness is a choice
chosen despite the weather,
allowing love to have a voice
so, we can thrive together.

forgiveness is not easy
for it always has a cost,
not simply something cheesy
for without it we are lost.

forgiveness is ours to claim
through the grace that Jesus shows,
we're forgiven in His name
for with Jesus our love grows.
