Source of Lasting Truth

How do I put aside my anger and forgive

Keep from condemning and judging too
How can I plead for your loving mercy
When I show no mercy; turn from truth

Though, I count my gifts and blessings

I lack the charity of the child you knew
How can I reopen the chest of treasure
Buried long ago when I turned from you

Mercy from generation to generation

Seat of wisdom and the light of truth
With a humble heart, and anticipation
I place my faith, hope and trust in you

Only you can heal me from hidden anger

Help me to look within and seek out truth
Guide me to rediscover the lost treasure
A measure of goodness only found in you

This is the time for mercy and forgiveness

Return to the loving nature of my youth
Put aside all judgmental condemnation
Pursue Love, the source of lasting truth
