Sometimes I have to ask myself the questions I don’t want to hear. Have I ever held a grudge, kept an old hurt living here? Have I ever been jealous, said something I knew wasn’t fair? Wanted someone to understand me while I never met them there? Have I asked for kindness and forgotten how to give? Wanted mercy for my own mistakes but found it hard to forgive? Lord, I know I’ve gotten things wrong. I know I’ve hurt and I’ve been hurt. Before I tell You what they did, let me tell You what I’ve done. A little peace every day, a little mercy in my heart. Help me see what I couldn’t see, show me where to start. Let me forgive, let me be forgiven too. A little peace every day, Lord, bring me closer to You. Have I ever judged too quickly, so certain I was right? Even when I had good reason, was I gentle, was I kind? Have I asked for honesty, for loyalty and grace, then expected more from others than I was willing to give? And when I knew I had a point, did I hold it much too tight? Did being right become a reason to forget how to be kind? Maybe I was kind sometimes. Maybe they were kind sometimes too. Maybe there’s another side I never really tried to see. A little peace every day, a little mercy in my heart. Help me see what I couldn’t see, show me where to start. Let me forgive, let me be forgiven too. A little peace every day, Lord, bring me closer to You. I don’t have to win each time. I don’t have to have the final word. I can say, “I was wrong.” I can listen. I can learn. I can loosen my grip on the things I thought I knew. I can lay an old hurt down. I can try again with You. And those I thought were against me— before I bring their names to You, let me ask if I have wounded them, if there’s something I can do. Before I tell You how they hurt me, let me see what I have done. Even when I thought I was right, Lord, was I still kind? Give us a little peace every day, a little mercy in our hearts. Help us see what we couldn’t see, give us courage to restart. Let us forgive, and be forgiven too. A little peace every day, Lord, bring us closer to You. Thank You, Lord, for another day to live, another chance to learn, another chance to give. Give me grace to forgive, keep my heart open to change, and a little more peace with every passing day. —————————————————— These lyrics were written and are owned by Rachel’s Original (Rachel Liu).
