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
