Forgiven the Greatest

Lyrics

The setting was perfect, Jesus had come To Simon's house for a meal He wanted to judge on merit alone If this self-proclaimed prophet was real Then without any warning, a woman appeared She was an open disgrace to the town Simon waited for Jesus' rebuke But He watched her without a sound She stood there embraced by emotion As her tears softly fell on His feet She knelt down to dry them off with her hair And she noticed the dust of the street As she washed it away with her finest perfume She just trembled to be so close For the One who's forgiven The greatest loves the most "Simon, My friend", Jesus spoke up "There's a story I think you should know Two men were debtors Though one owed far more And neither could pay what they owed Then both debts were cancelled And who do you think Was the more grateful man of the two?" "I suppose the one with the most to pay" "These words", Jesus smiled, "are true" She stood there embraced by emotion As her tears softly fell on His feet She knelt down to dry them off with her hair And she noticed the dust of the street As she washed it away with her finest perfume She just trembled to be so close For the One who's forgiven The greatest loves the most Looking at Simon, He asked him "Do you struggle With what you've been shown? What kept you from giving Me honor When you asked Me into your home? Could it be you're deceived by your goodness And so unaware of your need? Unlike this woman before you Whose sins are forgiven indeed Whose sins are forgiven indeed" Oh, she stood there embraced by emotion As her tears softly fell on His feet She knelt down to dry them off with her hair And she noticed the dust of the street As she washed it away with her finest perfume She just trembled to be so close For the One who's forgiven The greatest loves the most For the One who's forgiven The greatest loves the most
