A king once had a servant who owed him a huge debt

He begged the servant for mercy, but he got none at all
Dm Bbmaj7
The king heard all about it and was he ever mad
F Am
He sent the servant to prison and took away all he had
Dm Bbma7
Said he had to stay in there till he could pay it all back
F Am
‘Cause the servant was forgiven, but forgiveness was what he lacked

Now, Peter came to Jesus because he was so confused

“If my brother keeps on sinning against me, what should I do?

Our sins were countless like the sand on the shore
