Forgiveness hill

It's so hard to go up any hill that's steep
It's especially hard to go up a forgiveness hill; its hard to take that leap
All I need to do is put one foot in front of the other and take that small step
It doesn't require me to prep
But that step is so hard to take
Although it does seem easy to make

Forgiving another is a hard step to take no matter the circumstances
No matter how much it, in your mind, dances
It's hard to take that step because of what they did
It's hard to take that step because, their sin, or mistake, they never did admit
They never said sorry to you for their sin, or mistake
They never imagined that they hurt you; in that, they didn't partake
Are you kidding me?
They hurt me deeply and they think they didn't, but can't they see?
Can't they see the turmoil I go through each day?
Can't they see the steps I take to make the pain they caused go away?
They can't see that, in my heart, I'm trying to forgive them
They can't see because I didn't show them or because they don't care; to them, I'm not a pure gem

Even though looking upon that hill so steep
It seems so easy to just take that leap
I'd rather not climb up a hill so vertically straight
I'd rather just stay on the horizontally straight road and walk with a clean slate

But I gotta climb that hill in order to forgive them completely
I gotta climb up that hill, so I could say my slate is clean and neatly
Even if it's hard to do
I gotta do it for myself too
