Hymn: God’s grace extends beyond our comprehension
Proper 19 Year A
Matthew 18: 21-35
God’s grace extends beyond our comprehension,
beyond the limits that we put on love.
God calls us to forgiveness and redemption,
sometimes the bar is just too high above.
When we are wronged God feels the hurt we suffer
and enters into every human pain;
yet when our hatred flames, God makes a buffer,
absorbing venom time and time again...
Tune: INTERCESSOR
13th Sunday after Pentecost, Mattthew 18: 21 – 35, hymn,
grace, love, forgiveness, redemption, human pain, hatred, hurt, relationships
Andrew Pratt (born 1948)
