Not wanting to meet my eyes
The words you speak
Cause my heart to ache
I see you every day
Whispering with your friends
Twisting my words of faith
Implying the opposite of what I proclaim
Narrow-minded, homophobic, judgmental
Some may be, but those are not Your ways
I strain to love the world
To show them who You are
Turning away to hide my hurt
I seek refuge in the Lover of my soul
But I am human
The pain and rejection lingers
You said we would face persecution
In fact, You promised it
People will hate us for loving You
For believing in the cross
Help me to forgive
The slightest slight, Lord Jesus
Heal my heart
Fill the cracks with Your love
Father in heaven,
Lift up my head
Let the words slide off
and hit the ground
I want to focus on You
And not on the lies people spread
You are my Portion
My Everything
