With Jesus in Mind

[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [spoken] Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13 [fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals enter] Bear with each other and forgive a brother Or sister who is in Christ The challenge is believing, the thing you are grieving Needs to be sacrificed It's true that they wronged you and you must be strong to Put all your hurt aside That grievance you harbor just makes it harder For Jesus to serve as your guide [Chorus] Be gentle, be patient, be kind [sustained string pad enters] With patience and compassion [slight rest] let your every action Be taken with Jesus in mind [Verse 2] When you forgive a brother, you share with each other A gift that few can afford When you offer forgiveness, you show that you live less For self, more for our risen Lord [short guitar solo] Be thankful God chose you through His loving grace To have this new kind of life With tenderhearted mercy and kindness to others Avoid judging, grudges and strife [Chorus] Be patient, be gentle, be kind With patience and compassion [short rest} let your every action Be taken with Jesus in mind [Bridge] Most important of all, let love be your guide And with peace in your heart, forgive And together we'll dwell in harmony As we choose Christ's way to live [Chorus] Be gentle, be patient, be kind With patience and compassion [short rest] let your every action Be taken with Jesus in mind
