Betrayed

My betrayer was my friend
One who knew me well
There was no wall of defense
Only trust broken from your side

My hope is in the Lord
Who made heaven and earth

I have miscalculated
The mistake was on my side
You planned to defraud me
I see it in the end

My hope is in the Lord
Who made heaven and earth

Your life choices have exposed it
The intent to do me harm
In retrospect I allowed it
My bad I ignored the alarm

My hope is in the Lord
Who made heaven and earth

My end is not in your hand
I release you from your debt
I give you to the Lord
Who holds you in his hand

My hope is in the Lord
Who repays sevenfold

What the thief has stolen
What has been killed
Where I went astray
I offer now to you Lord
