Verse 1:
  E minorEm             Cmaj7Cmaj7
A augmentedA king once had a servant who owed him a huge debt
     G+G                 B minorBm
But the king forgave the servant, sent him home, and yet
     E minorEm                Cmaj7Cmaj7
When a friend who owed the servant a debt that was so small
        G+G               B minorBm
He begged the servant for mercy, but he got none at all
   E minorEm               Cmaj7Cmaj7
The king heard all about it and was he ever mad
       G+G             B minorBm
He sent the servant to prison and took away all he had
    E minorEm                 Cma7
Said he had to stay in there till he could pay it all back
       G+G            B minorBm
'Cause the servant was forgiven, but forgiveness was what he lacked

Chorus:
 E minorEm           C majorC
 Our debt was satisfied on the cross when Jesus died
 G+G              B minorBm
 And if we’ve been forgiven it’s gotta change the way we’re livin’
 E minorEm            C majorC
 How can we hold a grudge?  How can we fail to love
 G+G               B minorBm         (intro)
 Once we have known what mercy is? Lord, help us forgive

Verse 2:
   E minorEm             Cmaj7Cmaj7
Now, Peter came to Jesus because he was so confused
     G+G                 B minorBm
"If my brother keeps on sinning against me, what should I do?
   E minorEm            Cmaj7Cmaj7
I’m trying to be patient; I’m trying to be kind
   G+G              B minorBm
Do I have to forgive him the same thing seven times?"
E minorEm                Cmaj7Cmaj7
Our sins were countless like the sand on the shore
        G+G                 B minorBm
We should be grateful that the Lord, He’s not keeping a score, no
G+G           Cmaj7Cmaj7
His love erased them; they washed away when
G+G             B minorBm           (to chorus)
He hung and died on the cross and paid the payment

Bridge:
C majorC          G+G
It can be hard to forgive, there’s no pretending
B minorBm              C majorC
But we’ve been changed by a grace that’s never ending
C majorC          G+G
It can be hard to forgive, there’s no pretending
B minorBm              C majorC         C majorC (intro then chorus)
