Forgive

Let me be before the world
What I am when I'm alone
And when my vision falls below
Let there be forgiveness
Let me answer when I'm called
Let me know the voice is right
And when it's deep inside my soul
I'll know it by it's light
And when it's deep inside my soul
I'll know it by it's light
Help me to make the loving choice
Let me answer when I'm called
By the mighty and the small
In the service of my soul
Let there always be forgiveness
Forgive
