The Sweetest Words He Ever Said

Like the woman brought to Jesus,

Who was taken in her sin,

I was so ashamed of what I'd done

And where I'd been.

Well, justice called for payments

That were more than I could give,

When mercy smiled upon me,

Saying, "I forgive."

The sweetest words He ever said

Were "I forgive"

Death's sentence then was wiped away,

And I could live,

Well, I like the part where He told about

The mansions He would give,

But the sweetest words

He ever said were, "I forgive."

Well, if you're tired of living

With the wrongs that you have done,

Come on home to Jesus,

You know He's the cleansing One.

In His arms He'll hold you,

And you've just begun to live,

When you hear Him gently whisper,

"I forgive."
