When there has been hurt

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]
Forgiving one who’s done you wrong,
who does not seem aware
of any guilt or failure, hurt,
nor of a barrier here
in trust, respect, relationship –
(of blame am I accused?),
but face to face discussion is
consistently refused.
Not hoarding anger, bitterness,
but sad this rupture’s come;
I’ll pray, be pleasant, asking that
God make the truth be known
bring recognition of these things
and comprehension true
for healing, peace between us both
and with the Saviour too.
Tune: DCM

Rhiannon, Hi.Good to see you.
Rhiannon, Hi.Good to see you.
Even if I hadn't read that this was a hymm (though I did) I think a tune would still have been there in my head. It reads as a song.
Favourie lines:
who does not seem aware
of any guilt or failure, hurt,
We've provbaly all been hurt by unintentional thoughtlessness. And maybe even done the unintentioned hurting. This captures that sentiment beautifully.
Thank you for the read.
