White Heart - How Many Times (Seventy Times Seven) - Don't Wait For The Movie Album Version lyrics

Lord, I've got no more tears to cry Someone has hurt me Done me wrong I'm walking wounded, ooh 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 Oh-oh-oh 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, ooh Of seventy times seven Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 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 the broken heart And I was to blame Ooh, 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 ©1986 Sparrow Records
