I Forgive You

You’ve hurt me…

In words and deeds

But I forgive you.

You’ve spread gossip about me,

Then give a smile that’s not real…

God says I must forgive you.

I see resentment in your eyes.

I hear pride in your voice.

I want to turn a blind eye;

Pretend it doesn’t hurt,

But the pain is real.

You say you love me in a song,

Then you turn and shake my hand.

Yet you watch me fall,

Without lending a helping hand.

I cried, Help!

But you ignored my cry.

I asked for help,

But you have other things

to which you need to attend.

Still, I forgive you.

I forgive you

Because I know I’m not perfect.

I forgive you

Because when I mess-up,

I want you to forgive me too.

And I want my heavenly Father

To forgive me of all the wrong I do.

You’ve hurt me but I forgive you.

If I’ve hurt you, I pray you’ll forgive me too.

May God bless you

As you journey through.
