Song: 70 times 7
70 times 7c. Ray Phoenix

"70 times 7 times, forgive them", Jesus said
"Even when they strike you and they wish that you were dead"
Oh, Father, forgive us, as we forgive them and give us our daily bread,
"70 times 7 times, forgive them", Jesus said

Now, 70 times 7 seems like an awful lot to do
I believe it would be easier at 70 times 2
And 2 times 2 forgiveness, well, I believe that could be done
But Father, I'm having trouble forgiving them, one time one

"70 times 7 times, forgive them", Jesus said
"Even when they strike you and they leave you there for dead"
Oh, Father, forgive us, as you forgive them and give us our daily bread,
"70 times 7 times, forgive them", Jesus said

Now one times one forgiveness, you know, that's really not enough
If we can only forgive them one times one they'll think our hearts are mean and rough
We've got to keep forgiving them, just to prove God's love is true
And we've been forgiven for so much more that it's the least that we can do

"70 times 7 times, forgive them", Jesus said
"Even when they strike you and they leave you there for dead"
Oh, Father, forgive us, as we forgive them and give us all our daily bread,
"70 times 70 times 70 times 70 times 70 times 7 times, forgive them", Jesus said
