Betrayal always hurts, of course, when does it ever end?
Words so angry, fierce, and sharp, digging deep inside
Can’t you see the pain they cause - the anger I can’t hide?
What happened to forgiveness?
What happened to the grace?
I thought this all was conquered
And love put in its place
How awful to return
To this pain and fear and dread
After knowing Christ my Savior
And of the precious blood He shed
Betrayed again. Betrayed!
I cry
And slump within my pain
Self-pity, fear, and loneliness
These are my only gain
To the Cross I turn my focus
And for a moment clearly see
Agony- so intense
And a shame- meant for me
In this I find the strength again
To search my wretched heart
And still they lie in wait for me
Betrayal’s bitter start
Deeper I must dig inside
Dodge each fatal blow
To find His words I’ve hidden there
It’s those I must let flow
His love, His hope, His peace, His joy
In these my spirit rise
His Truth, at last, I accept as Truth
No longer all the lies
Right here I am and here I stay
From here I will not part
For now I see the Truth indeed
And the betrayal of my heart.
