Forgiveness

You asked me to forgive you Still you would cause me pain again Your words rained down like daggers Soaking my soul with so much pain I know i was taught to forgive It became harder every day All the ways you had to hurt me I was the game you loved to play You had quite an imagination The ways you would describe my demise Thankfully I chose not to follow Yours was a pathway paved with lies In my mind I reinvented Chose a future that was worthwhile Yes I took a few steps backwards Still moving forward all the while As the gap between us lengthened God took my heart and made it whole Yes beginnings are important I learned forgiveness plays a role It was not so much about you Or all the things that you had done My healing could not be complete Without knowing God's only Son There is light beyond the darkness Perhaps one day I will see your face I hope you asked God for forgiveness Your sins will be gone without a trace If my Savior can forgive you The way he has forgiven me There is more to who you were Than what I was able to see I forgive you dad
