White Heart: How Many Times (Seventy Times Seven)

Lord, I've got no more tears to cry
Someone has hurt me, done me wrong
I'm walking wounded

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
Seventy times seven

Lord, I really don't understand
I'm looking 'round for some stones to throw
You're telling 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
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 Your 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
You 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
