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
