1. Lovingly Jehovah

Made provision through his Son

For our sins to be forgiven

And for death to be undone.

If we truly are repentant,

His forgiveness we can claim

On the basis of Christ’s ransom,

Asking pardon in his name.

2. We receive such mercy

When we act like God above

And forgive each other freely,

Showing empathy and love.

Putting up with one another,

Putting hurtfulness away;

Showing honor to our brother,

Showing love’s surpassing way.

3. Mercy is a virtue

That we all should cultivate.

It will keep us from resentment,

From the bitterness of hate.

When we imitate Jehovah,

Who is unsurpassed in love,

We will truly be forgiving;

We will be like God above.

1. Jehova ne ’rha mwa

Keghi mwẹ ekh’itohan.

Ukpọmọkpa n’irẹn wa mwẹ,

Ẹr’ọ ya zọese n’ima.

T’ẹkpotọ ghi wa kie n’ima,

Na ya guOsa ruadọlọ.

’Rẹn gha y’orukhọ mwa b’ima

Degh’ima na fiwerriẹ.

2. Gima gha mwẹ ’tohan

Vben’Osanobua vbe ye.

Degh’emwa na vbe ruima khọ,

Ma ghi y’ekhọe hia yabọ.

Ọ ma zẹdẹ khẹke hiehie

N’ima gha rhi’ẹmwẹ y’ẹko;

Gima gha yerre vb’ẹghẹ hia

W’emw’orukhọ ma hia khin.

3. Ọ khẹke n’ima hia

Wa gha mwẹ ’khọe ne khuẹrhẹ.

Degh’emwa na y’ohu muima,

Ma ghi hia na gbibiẹrrie.

Mai mwẹ ’mwi n’ima y’ẹzọ ru;

Ọfunmwegbe ma gualọ.

Gima wa gha mw’ahoẹmwọmwa

Kevb’ẹnina daemwa hia.
