Search our heart Lord above

For anger, lack of forgiveness, and love

Even at you my God who can allow this day

Bad luck, sickness, cruelty to come our way

Search our heart Lord above

Can we learn to forgive and love

Even our parents we hate to say

Not always as wise, strong, perfect as we needed along life's way

Search our heart Lord above

Can we learn to forgive and love

Imperfect people who have let us down

Even ourselves, as there are no perfect people around

Search our heart Lord above

Can we learn to forgive and love

Seventy-seven times seven, our Lord did claim

Forgive and love was Jesus life, help us learn to be the same

What greater gift could our Lord have given than his life

Our sins forgiven out of God's love and Jesus strife

Search our heart Lord above

Can we learn to forgive and love
