Forgiveness is your gift

1 Forgiveness is your gift,
both cleansing and renewing,
to catch us when we drift,
our base desires pursuing;
and hug us back to life
and bring us to a feast
where all will celebrate
the life your love released.

2 Your grace goes out to meet
the sinful and the doubting,
your arms and dancing feet
speak louder than all shouting:
O God, how great your love
which takes us empty in,
and, with our worth unproved,
lets better life begin.
