HOW MANY TIMES (SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN)

HOW MANY TIMES

(SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN)

WhiteHeart

Lord

I got no more tears to cry

Someone has hurt me

Done me wrong

I’m walking wounded

Oh Lord

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

Of

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

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

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

Seventy times seven
