Text:
A New Heart - “. . . forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12)

When you feel resentment, jealousy, or strife,
Take the time to ponder motives in your life.
You will be astonished as you pray to God . . .
How He helps to cleanse ideas you once thought.

When injustice enters quickly in your soul,
When hostility and hatred take ahold,
Know that God can change your views from dark to light.
As your heart is softened, He will give new sight.

When it’s difficult to reconcile a hurt,
And it’s hard to love when others have been curt,
See the Savior as your guide. . . He lends His grace.
As you pardon others, you can see His face.

Chorus:
Oh, forgive and you will be forgiv’n.
You can gain a cherished place in heav’n.
As an heir of Father, you will have a part . . .
He will give to you a purified, new heart.
