When someone's unkind words
Make anger well in you,
Do not respond with like for like
As people often do,
Just try forgiveness.
When major heartache comes
Through other's thoughtlessness,
Don't let the sorrow take control
And stifle happiness,
Just try forgiveness.
When fam'lies drift apart
From things misunderstood,
Do not stay bitter year on year
Because you think you should,
Just try forgiveness.
Genuine forgiveness
Will make your spirit soar,
Because the pain of grudge on grudge
Will weight your heart no more,
So try forgiveness.
