[Verse 1]
Em Cmaj7 A king once had a servant who owed him a huge debt G Bm But the king forgave the servant, sent him home, and yet Em Cmaj7 When a friend who owed the servant a debt that was so small G Bm He begged the servant for mercy, but he got none at all Em Cmaj7 The king heard all about it and was he ever mad G Bm He sent the servant to prison and took away all he had Em Cma7 Said he had to stay in there till he could pay it all back G Bm 'Cause the servant was forgiven, but forgiveness was what he lacked
[Chorus]
Em C Our debt was satisfied on the cross when Jesus died G Bm And if we’ve been forgiven it’s gotta change the way we’re livin’ Em C How can we hold a grudge? How can we fail to love G Bm (intro) Once we have known what mercy is? Lord, help us forgive
[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj7 Now, Peter came to Jesus because he was so confused G Bm "If my brother keeps on sinning against me, what should I do? Em Cmaj7 I’m trying to be patient; I’m trying to be kind G Bm Do I have to forgive him the same thing seven times?" Em Cmaj7 Our sins were countless like the sand on the shore G Bm We should be grateful that the Lord, He’s not keeping a score, no G Cmaj7 His love erased them; they washed away when G Bm (to chorus) He hung and died on the cross and paid the payment
[Bridge]
C G It can be hard to forgive, there’s no pretending Bm C But we’ve been changed by a grace that’s never ending C G It can be hard to forgive, there’s no pretending Bm C C (intro then chorus) But we’ve been changed by a grace that’s never ending
