(Below is a song, entitled, "The God of Manasseh," that I began writing yesterday and finished this afternoon. It was written in light of my recent battle to forgive. For those who've read my previous blog post... Jonah has been to Nineveh. There's a long road ahead, but every great journey starts with one small step. Thank you for your prayers, all you righteous. They availeth much. God bless.)
(verse 1)
Man intended evil
God worked it out for good
I was bruised and bleeding
He poured oil on my wounds
He commanded, "Love thy enemy,"
And He gave me the strength to try
(chorus)
I worship the God of Manasseh
The God who makes me forget my pain
He doesn't erase the bad things that happen
The scars will always remain
But I worship a God of mercy and compassion
Whose forgiveness covers all my stains
I've been forgiven much
How can I not do the same?
I worship the God of Manasseh
Who makes me forget about my pain
(verse 2)
"Not by might or power
But by my Spirit," saith the Lord
Shall I pray "save me from this hour"?
Or shall I take up my sword?
'Tis my prayer that bare obedience
Shall bring forth fruits of love and desire
(chorus)
I worship the God of Manasseh
The God who makes me forget my pain
He doesn't erase the bad things that happen
The scars will always remain
But I worship a God of mercy and compassion
Whose forgiveness covers all my stains
I've been forgiven much
How can I not do the same?
I worship the God of Manasseh
Who makes me forget about my pain
