VERSE 1:
A
The Lord of Heaven
D E7 A
said I must forgive seventy times seven.
D A
But sometimes, my stubborn heart won't budge
D A
Sometimes, it's hard to let go of a grudge
A D E
Sometimes, it's hard to let go of pain and anger
A E
Sometimes, I'd rather let my mind linger
D
on my selfish plots of revenge.
A D
On evil thoughts, it's easy to binge;
A
But, the Lord of Heaven
D E7 A
said I must forgive seventy times seven.
CHORUS:
D
Yeah, the Lord of my heart
A
commands me to swiftly depart
G
from my selfish ways,
D
from the angry haze
A
that clouds my simple mind.
G A
In forgiveness, peace I find.
VERSE 2:
The Lord of Heaven
helps me forgive seventy times seven
so that I may show, so that I may show
the amazingly awesome love, I surely know
He has for for everyone—each one of us.
Yeah to reflect on His love, I must
put my bitter anger behind me
or else, I'll never be free.
Help me, Lord of Heaven,
to forgive seventy times seven.
(REPEAT CHORUS 3Xs)
