The Way to Forgiveness - with Vili Dula, Cynthia Mutete, The Patmos Choir –

Today (21 September 2019), on the International Peace Day, we offer "The Way to Forgiveness" as a tribute to the 22 million refugees that had to leave everything behind when fleeing the war, and to the 10.000 people whose lives were ended by wars this year!

Jesus said: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven!”
It may seem something very difficult, but it is the only way towards genuine Peace.

Let us always be peacemakers! This is God's Way.

1. When hatred drives brothers to kill
And hist'ry wields a blood-filled quill
When orphans mourn and parents die
And love has no more tears to cry

R. We call Thy name in praise and laud
Deliver us almighty God
Help us forgive despite the pain
As Thou forgave us each the same.

2. When we look back with teary eyes
When we remember cruel demise
When brothers hate and even kill
We seek Thy Grace again this day.

R. We call Thy name in praise and laud
Deliver us almighty God
Help us forgive despite the pain
As Thou forgave us each the same.

3. We cried, we mourned, we called Thy name
We walked upon the path Thou laid
But through Thy strength we could forgive
And thus in peace as brothers live

R. As we stand now before Thy face
Forgiven, saved and filled with Grace
We sing Thy praise with righteous awe
All in Thy name almighty God!
