At each journey’s ending point

There exists forgiveness space

Which invites us to recall

Love’s transforming power and grace.

Deeper than our guilt and fear,

Deeper than rejection’s pain

Our creative thankfulness

Can reshape our life again.

 

Are we prisoners of our past

Locked within our anger’s walls

As our gloomy thoughts retrace

Everything that now appalls?

Christ invites us to relive

Step by step our journey’s race

Weaving love around mistakes,

Till our memory fills with grace

 

History forms a useful friend

But can tyrannize our mind

If we give misshapen thoughts

Power to kill the true and kind.

We will seek to mould our hearts

Finding Christ in our past days,

Keeping good and leaving dross,

Living life with thankful praise.
