Watchtower Bible And Tract Society
Be Forgiving
1. Lovingly Jehovah
Made provision through his Son
For our sins to be forgiven
And for death to be undone
If we truly are repentant
His forgiveness we can claim
On the basis of Christ's ransom
Asking pardon in his name
2. We receive such mercy
When we act like God above
And forgive each other freely
Showing empathy and love
Putting up with one another
Putting hurtfulness away;
Showing honor to our brother
Showing love's surpassing way
3. Mercy is a virtue
That we all should cultivate
It will keep us from resentment
From the bitterness of hate
When we imitate Jehovah
Who is unsurpassed in love
We will truly be forgiving;
We will be like God above
