REMEMBER THE COVENANT (Teach My Heart To Forgive) (Sirach 27:30—28:7) by Servus Christi VERSE 1: Wrath and anger cling like shadows, but you call me into light. I’ve held tight to every burden, every wound I tried to fight. But your mercy breaks the darkness, and your kindness draws me near; teach my heart to choose compassion, cast away my pride and fear. CHORUS 1: Remember the covenant, your love that never ends. You forgive my every failure, so teach me to forgive again. I lay down all enmity, let your healing rise within. Lord, remember your covenant— and make my heart like yours again. VERSE 2: How can I seek your healing while I’m clinging to the pain? How can I ask for pardon while I refuse to break the chains? You remind me of my ending— dust returning unto dust; so I choose your way of mercy, in your promises I trust. CHORUS 2: Remember the covenant, your love that never ends. You forgive my every failure, so teach me to forgive again. I lay down all enmity, let your healing rise within. Lord, remember your covenant— and make my heart like yours again. BRIDGE: You set my sins as far as the east is from the west; so let forgiveness be the song that rises from my chest. I’ll love my neighbor freely, as you’ve freely loved me first; let your Spirit move within me, quench all anger’s bitter thirst. CHORUS 3: Remember the covenant, your love that never ends. You forgive my every failure, so teach me to forgive again. I lay down all enmity, let your healing rise within. Lord, remember your covenant— and make my heart like yours again. CODA: Make my heart like yours again… teach my heart to forgive again.
