What is it to have new chapters?
Is it closing the door on something past
Or a leap of faith to something new?
How about if it refers to forgetting?
Forgetting I hear you say? Tell me more
Well, the best way to forget is to forgive
When you practice forgiveness
Truly doing it, you find you can forget
And a new chapter begins
A chapter without malice or hate or envy
A chapter that renews relationships
A chapter where you can write a fresh story
And the baggage of the past is gone
And what if someone forgives you?
You lived in shame and guilt, so heavy
You hated seeing them coz deep down
You KNEW you had hurt them
The new chapter of forgiveness
Is a brand new start for you
You can let go those things that held you back
And step forth, free and joyful and light
Jesus forgave us when He hung on the cross
“Father forgive them” He cried
The truest form of ultimate love
His forgiveness to us as He died
So if you harbour feelings of hurt
Either because of you or from others
Look to Jesus, see His example
Be free, forget and start your new chapters
