70 X 7

How many times in a day should we forgive?
It's seventy times seven, Christ came to teach
Imagine in a year, how many times does that add up to?
Forgiveness drives away deceit, makes affection grow
Because love and forgiveness, God made to multiply!

It's seventy times seven, the measure of forgiveness
Forgiveness is healing for the soul, medicine for the heart
In the Lord's Prayer, there's also this lesson
So forget pride and forgive your brother

Those who have mercy, receive mercy
To receive forgiveness, one must also forgive
Strive for peace with everyone, without exception
Don't seek revenge, wishing harm upon anyone
Forgiving those who offend us is a benefit to ourselves

It's seventy times seven, the measure of forgiveness
Forgiveness is healing for the soul, medicine for the heart
In the Lord's Prayer, there's also this lesson
So forget pride and forgive your brother

If someone offends you with words, don't engage in argument
Don't fuel the fire, avoid a confrontation
Life is more important, in any situation
Turn your back, walk away, and say no to hatred!
It's better to escape losing than to die being right

It's seventy times seven, the measure of forgiveness
Forgiveness is healing for the soul, medicine for the heart
In the Lord's Prayer, there's also this lesson
So forget pride and forgive your brother

It's seventy times seven, the measure of forgiveness
Forgiveness is healing for the soul, medicine for the heart
In the Lord's Prayer, there's also this lesson
So forget pride and forgive your brother

So forget pride and forgive your brother!
