OFFENDED

When those ugly offenses come

along comes a decision

Do I hide within myself

And keep my feelings hidden

Do I put on a phasad that everything's ok

While my spirit slowly dies more with each and every day

Spiritually dead no life in me

No longer purpose driven

But rather so consumed with self

That I don't even know why I'm living

Or do I deal with the hurt I feel

The remnant of the pain

allowing God to heal me

From all mistakes and shame

He told me in His word that

Offenses would surely come

So who am I to think

I deserves better than His Son

My responsibility now is to press past offense

To become free from the bondage

To rest in Him and know Him as God

And walk in true deliverance
