Why Can't We

He lies awake there all alone most every night Looking back on all of his mistakes Wishing through the tears that he could just go back 'Cause there's a lot of things he'd like to change He just can't forgive himself and forget Even though God already did If He can love someone and find the good within In spite of what they've done, no matter where they've been If He can let it go and set the debtor free If He can keep forgiving you and me Why can't we There've been times I've been so hurt by someone else I didn't wanna give a second chance I let all the bitterness take control And took grace into my own hands But even Jesus said, "Whoever's done no wrong Let him throw the first stone" If He can love someone and find the good within In spite of what they've done, no matter where they've been If He can let it go and set the debtor free If He can keep forgiving you and me Why can't we He was hated and rejected, betrayed by those He trusted Even hanging on the cross, He said, "Father, please forgive them" If He can love someone and find the good within In spite of what they've done, no matter where they've been If He can let it go and set the debtor free If He can keep forgiving you and me Why can't we Why can't we --- Why Can't We - The Isaacs
