Sovereign

Graphic by Bruna Costa


Separating the sin from the person
Especially, when revenge would also mean to hurt ya
It’s important to leave vengeance starving
To help prevent your heart from hardening

Try to empathize, and picture the world as that person
Having unimaginable things done to them, too, all behind curtains
Many are still trapped, and the end of the pain is uncertain
Forgiving them is more for me than it will ever be for that person

Freeing you from the grips of my thoughts, for sure
Being an exceptional being is something my grandparents taught
And my parents, they’re the reason that I never gave up and fought
Separating the sin from the person is so HARD!

Coming from the depths of our hearts requires the help of God
Imagine having to withhold what you know about a person
When the very sin is attached to your life, it never stops hurting
Time, forgiveness, and sheer focus have helped me finally
Separate the sin from the person…thank God!
