FORGIVENESS.....is nice

Today I was reminded of this great song by Leslie Phillips from 1985:

Waiting for angry words to sear my soul
Knowing I don't deserve another chance
Suddenly the kindest words
I've ever heard
Come flooding through my heart
(CHORUS)It's your kindness that leads us
To repentance Oh Lord
Knowing that You love us
No matter what we do
Makes us want to love You too
(repeat)
No excuse no one to blame
No where to hide
The eyes of God have found my failures
Found my pain He understands my weaknesses
And knows my shame
But His heart never leaves me
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)If You are for us Who can be against us
You gave us everything Even Your only Son
It's your kindness that leads us
To repentance Oh Lord
Knowing that You love us
No matter what we do
Makes us want to love You too

See Romans 2:4, 8:31
