I can't believe what she said I can't believe what he did Oh, don't they know it's wrong Don't they know it's wrong Well maybe there's something I missed But how could they treat me like this It's wearing out my heart The way they disregard This is love or this is hate We all have a choice to make Oh, Father wont You forgive them They don't know what they've been doin' (oh no) Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them 'Cause I feel like the one losin' Well it's only the dead that can live But still I wrestle with this To lose the pain that's mine Seventy times seven times 'Cause Lord it doesn't feel right For me to turn a blind eye Though I guess it's not that much When I think of what You've done This is love or this is hate We gotta a choice to make Oh Father won't You forgive them They don't know what they've been doin' (oh no) Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them 'Cause I feel like the one losin' Why do we think that our hate's gonna break a hard heart We're rippin' arms over wars that don't need to be fought 'Cause pride wont let us lay our weapons on the ground We build our bridges up but it's just to burn them down We think our pain is own apologies and get them to stop Well truth be told it doesn't matter if their sorry or not 'Cause freedom comes when we surrender to the sound Of Your mercy and Your grace, Father, send Your angels down Oh Father wont you forgive them They don't know what they've been doin' Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them 'Cause I feel like the one losin' I feel like I've been losing Oh Father wont you forgive them They don't know what they've been doin' Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them 'Cause I feel like the one losin' I feel like I've been losing Oh Father, give me grace to forgive them 'Cause I feel like the one losin'
