Unforgiven

I bring you my little heart
It’s been battered and abused
It’s all bent out of shape, Lord
Because it has been bruised
 
I lost some of the pieces
I can’t get them back, you see
It all happened when he said
That he will not forgive me
 
Jesus, please stop the hurting
For I can’t go on this way
Every time that I see him
I just don’t know what to say
 
He has cut me from his life
And he threw away my heart
I’m left here, Lord, to wonder
If you have the missing part
 
He claims that you’re his Savior
He says that you bring him joy
Why is it then, sweet Jesus
That he broke me like a toy?
 
So here I am, my Jesus
I'm uncertain what to do
But tell me, Lord, why can't he
Be forgiving just like you
