Once Again
Your face reminds me of the pain
Your smile retains the brokenness
Your voice prods the gash deep in my soul.
Just when I think I’ve grown past, I hear your laughter within
Just when I feel I’ve moved beyond, I see your hand holding on
Just when I believe I’ve overcome, I touch a memory in the forgotten mind
I wish I could just stay angry forever
I long to see the payment for your crime
I yearn for the day when justice divides
Yet, He draws me back to unconditional love
He reminds me of His unyielding mercy
He calls to my heart to gracefully forgive
Not for your sake, but rather, for mine
Once Again

This is quite an old song, but it so eloquently describes the wounded heart. ❤️
