I give to God my hurt

I give to God my hurt
no longer holding onto my anger
forgiving all who have harmed me
leaving to God judgment,
consequence, all retribution.

I renounce violence
hidden within my heart
I leave that to God.

I praise God for His grace
I exalt God for His mercy
heaped on me abundantly.

I mourn for the judgment
on the others, and on myself,
who continue in their sin
I pray for their turning
that we would all walk closer to God.
