God’s Forgiveness

‘Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.’—Luke 7:47‘Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)       That saved a wretch like me!I once was lost, but now am found,       Was blind, but now I see.‘ ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,       And grace my fears relieved;How precious did that grace appear       The hour I first believed!‘Through many dangers, toils, and snares,       I have already come;’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,       And grace will lead me home.‘The Lord has promised good to me,       His word my hope secures;He will my shield and portion be,       As long as life endures.‘Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,       And mortal life shall cease;I shall possess within the veil,       A life of joy and peace.‘The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,       The sun forbear to shine;But God, who called me here below,       Will be forever mine.’—John Newton
