The Gift Endowed
Forgiveness, reconciliation
Sounds of telephones that ring
Love connecting ears that listen
The past of which we do not cling
–
Former things of sad offense
To forbear, God’s mercy’s guide
Linking us in Christ, from whence
New places for us to abide
–
Prayer and much long suffering
Perfect pain, such is allowed
Given from our precious Lord
Forgiveness is a gift endowed
