Forgiveness
Renae Aug 2011
I'll never understand it
I'll never know why
somehow we've stayed together
after all of this time
tearing each other apart
with so many fights
words rip at the heart
so many sleepless nights
I reject you
I'm cruel
We say things
We don't mean
I'm sorry
I forgive you
will you forgive me?
and you do
it's that simple
I guess we were meant to be
so many storms come in
violent winds strike
this house must be made of stone
if it's strong enough to survive
imperfect together
you slip I fall
to really love each other
I guess you have to risk it all

Psalm 37:10 &11 ~
Renae Aug 2011
Every time I look up it seems
I’m down on my knees
asking God please
I’m down in the dirt
"Please save this world from the hurt"
and I’m crying out loud
"I wish it were all over now.
Everyone is so blind
Still we keep on trying
though they want to refuse
they still keep on crying
they are praying to you
I'm so confused
I just don't understand
how they could refuse
but so many won't listen
to your good news"

History repeats and
we remember the Jews.
They imagined a King
riding on a white steed
to their disappointment  
he rode on a donkey.
But little did they read
the prophecy.
They became ashamed
Their thoughts a big mess
They put their faith in each other
turned their back on their brother
Built gods of stone
said “to each his own”
Today it remains
influenced the same
Blessing weapons of war
keeps an uneven score
Still perfectly waiting, patiently
for goodhearted ones to respond
His will forever remains the same
the meek and the faithful unite as one
learning to be grateful
for the ransom won
because of  this free gift
many inherit the earth
to reside forever in bliss
no more deaths only birth.
Psalm 37:10&11
Revelation 21: 3 &4
