“From the Heart” is a deeply reflective sacred song inspired by Matthew 18 and Christ’s teaching on limitless forgiveness. Moving from Peter’s question — “How often must I forgive?” — into the powerful parable of the unforgiving servant, this piece explores mercy not as theory… but as a way of living.
Written in a plainspoken, emotionally honest style, the song confronts the tension between receiving grace and refusing to extend it to others. Gentle yet piercing, the refrain reminds us that forgiveness is not weakness, nor merely words spoken aloud… it is the difficult work of the heart.
“Forgive us, Lord, as we forgive,
not words alone, but from the heart…”
Ideal for:
• Communion meditation
• Reconciliation services
• Lenten liturgies
• Choirs and soloists
• Prayer and healing services
• Sacred concerts and retreats
• Reflections on mercy and grace
