Open arms are
all I’m calling for-
giveness of my sin
Yet if I can’t
let go of this grudge
this gun I’m holding to my brother’s
chest
How
can I expect
my Father to let me in?
Oh teacher how
if seven times my
Brother sins ‘gainst me today
Or seven more,
Heaven forbid,
can I forgive
Transgressions made?
Open arms are
all I’m calling for-
giveness of my sin,
yet if I can’t
let go of this grudge
this gun I’m holding to my brother’s
chest
How
can I expect
my Father to let me in?
How on bended knee
shall I beg for clemency?
Oh mother
We poor souls
that keep on
forgetting how we’ve been redeemed
I beg to thee
as a servant freed
please lay this message at my savior’s
feet
