From Colossians 3:12:  “Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.”

Living as God’s chosen

Accepting mercy’s grace

Forgiveness, divine gift

Choosing love to embrace

Filling self with kindness

Blessing this very day

Forgiveness, without strings

Following Father’s way

Bearing with each other

Sharing God’s priceless gift

Forgiveness, pass it on

Healing each heart adrift

Receiving peace of Christ

Dwelling deeply within

Forgiveness, Spirit fills

Transforming life of sin

Praising with gratitude

Walking with humble steps

Forgiveness, life’s center

Repenting each misstep

From Colossians 3:13-14:  “Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.  Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
