Notes About The Poem

Lyrics by me, music by suno

Forgive

Forgive

She let me down,
Treated me like a clown
I spoke of her in prayer,
Told God, made Him aware
Of all the pain she’d caused
But God never paused…

Chorus:

He said, “Just forgive her”
Forgive her from the heart
Forgive her for it all
Forgive her for what you’ve lost
Forgive her for what it’s cost

She hurt me so bad,
Changed my happy to sad
She destroyed my hope,
Made me feel like I couldn’t cope
She was not my friend
Yet, God said it’s not the end…

Chorus:

He said, “Just forgive her”
Forgive her from the heart
Forgive her for it all
Forgive her for what you’ve lost
Forgive her for what it’s cost

She did the worst I’d seen
She made me feel such shame
And I never was to blame
I thought she was a friend
But how can I understand?
How can I forgive such sin?

But God told me to forgive
Forgive her of every sin
Forgive her of all the pain
Forgive her for everything
Because there is a King
Who forgives everything

Forgive her and believe
You’ve been a vessel for this King
Pour out love, worshipping
It’s forgiveness that will sing…
As we worship the King of Kings

When I think of those who hurt us, I find it difficult sometimes, very difficult. I remember Christ's words on that terrible horrible cross and His Words, 'Forgive them Father for they know not what they do..." Your poem is amazing, and the song, awesome!

Dear Gina, I feel this way sometimes arguing with God in real time, trying to swallow a command that feels too big for the throat. I like how the chorus keeps circling back, almost stubborn, like the lesson won’t let you go. The honesty about the hurt makes the obedience feel earned, not automatic. Loved the music and song. Blessings, Daniel
