Psalm

by Cynthia Funderburk

My hate is cutting me off

From the sunlight of the Spirit

I'm consumed by my Heavy Heart

I'm begging God to help me Love.

My heart longs to be free

But the chains of unforgiveness

Weigh me down

Pulling at me

Like quicksand.

I look in my Dad's eyes,

He doesn't know who I am.

He doesn't know what he has done.

I come back to my cell and

drop to my knees.

I'm begging you Lord

Let me turn this over to you.

I'm blinded by my tears

But they're not just for the

Hurt he inflicted. I cry

because I remember loving

Him too. I start to remember

some good times too. I cry

because God has shown

himself to me again.

Forgiveness brings my God to me.

He forgives me too.

God is love, there's

no room for resentment

when you walk in the

Light.

The chains are off me

My yolk is lightened

Even though I'll never hear

"I'm sorry"

My heart is no longer hardened

Forgiveness makes this no longer

Something that will

Bind me to this world.

I have placed my

Hope in the Lord.

With him all things are possible.

Praise the Lord...Amen.
