Alain Boublil - Valjean Arrested/Valjean Forgiven lyrics

Constables: Tell his reverence your story Let us see if he's impressed You were lodging there last night You were the honest Bishop's guest. And then, out of Christian goodness When he learned about your plight You maintain he made a present of this silver... Bishop: (interrupting the Constable) That is right. But my friend you left so early Surely something slipped your mind (He presents two candlesticks to Valjean) You forgot I gave these also Would you leave the best behind? So Messieurs you may release him For this man has spoken true I commend you for your duty And God's blessing go with you. [The constables leave] But remember this, my brother See in this some higher plan You must use this precious silver To become an honest man By the witness of the martyers By the Pa**ion and the Blood God has raised you out of darkness I have bought your soul for God!
