The Unforgiving Servant !

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king,
Who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants,
He began to reconcile,one by one asked to bring,
One was brought to him,owed him Ten Thousand talents.

He could not pay,his lord ordered him to be sold,
With his wife,children and all that he had,
And payment to be made at once he was told,
He fell down and kneeled before him,grim and sad.

He cried,'' Lord have patience I will repay ",
Having moved with compassion he forgave his debt,
He went and found one of his co-servants going away,
He owed him one hundred denarii,he was not left,

But he grabbed him and took him by throat,
Saying pay me at once what you owe,
He fell down at his feet,he only mercy sought,
Begged for patience and time to pay above.

But cast him into prison,he would not forgive,
His fellow servants felt extremely sorry,
About the cruel treatment, he did give,
They came to the lord and narrated the story.

The lord said,"Wicked servant I forgave all your debt",
Shouldn't you have mercy that mercy I had for you,
Angry lord delivered him to the tormentors but,
To be in prison, until he should pay all that was due.

Likewise my Heavenly Father will also do,
If you don't each forgive your brother,
That forgiveness from your heart should accrue,
Or He will deliver you to tormentors altogether.
