I forgive you in the way
a Mother of a murdered Son
forgives the murderer who killed Her Child.

I forgive you in the way
a rape Survivor who won in court
forgives the rapist who violated Her.

I know you are a child of God.
I know you are a child of God.

I forgive you in the way
my Father would have forgiven you
if He had known what you have done to Me.

I forgive you in the way
my Brother would have forgiven you
if He had known what you have done to Me.

I know you are a child of God.
I know you are a child of God.

I forgive you in the way
I would forgive a rabid Dog in
the throws of madness for biting a Child.

I forgive you in the way
I would forgive a five year old Child
setting My house on fire to watch It burn.

I know you are a child of God.
I know you are a child of God.
