How Many Times (Seventy Times Seven)

Lord, I got no more tears to cry Someone has hurt me, done me wrong I'm walkin' wounded, oh Lord, this pain is a knife of fire Why does it have to turn out this way Why do the innocent seem to pay? How many times Must I stand in the waves Of this crashing sea? How many times Must I forgive all the hurt That's been done to me Let the jury go, set the sinner free? Whoa oh, seventy times seven Lord, I really don't understand Well I'm lookin' round For some stones to throw You're tellin' me I should let it go How many times Must I stand in the waves Of this crashing sea? How many times I hear what you're saying inside of me But I don't understand the mystery of Seventy times seven How many times Have You wept from the anguish Of all my shame? How many times Have I nailed You up on the cross of pain? You bled from a broken heart And I was to blame Seventy times seven Over and over again Seventy times seven Lord, You know just how hard I have tried Seventy times seven Gotta see that I'm hurting inside Seventy times seven Don't You know that my pride is at stake Seventy times seven So tell me how much one should take Seventy times seven Seventy times seven
