Forgive As He Forgave Me

**Verse 1:**

How many times, Lord - must I forgive,

When my brother does me wrong?

Not just seven—but 70 times 7 give,

Forgiving fills my soul with song.

**Chorus:**

Let mercy flow like a river,

From the heart that’s been set free.

For I’ve been forgiven a mountain of debt—

So I will forgive as He forgave me.

**Verse 2:**

The Lord forgave my impossible sum,

Washed it all away.

Yet sometimes I hold to the smallest of wrongs,

Forgetting the cost He paid.

**Chorus (repeat):**

Let mercy flow like a river,

From the heart that’s been set free.

For I’ve been forgiven a mountain of debt—

So I will forgive as He forgave me.

Verse 3:

If I close my heart to grace,

Hold my brother’s debt in chains,

The debt I owed will come again,

And my soul will be full of shame.

**Bridge:**

Who am I to hold a grudge, when grace has covered me?

I will show compassion, let mercy be my creed.

From my heart, I’ll pardon those who’ve wounded me…

As the Lord in heaven has pardoned all my need!

**Chorus **

Let mercy flow like a river,

From the heart that’s been set free.

Holy Spirit, help me remember—

To forgive as You forgave me.
