Seven Times Seventy
Artist: Chris August
Album: No Far Away
I've been living in this house here
Since the day that I was born
These walls have seen me happy
But most of all they've seen me torn
They have heard the screaming matches
That made a family fall apart
They've had a front row seat to the breaking of my heart
Chorus
Seven times seventy times
I'll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way
Seven times seventy times
There's healing in the air tonight
I'm reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around
I remember running down the hallway playing hide and seek
I didn't know that I was searching for someone to notice me
I felt alone and undiscovered
And old enough to understand
Just when I'm supposed to be learning to love
You let me down again
Chorus
I lost count of the ways you let me down
But no matter how many times you weren't around
I'm alright now
God picked up my heart and helped me through
And shined light on the one thing left to do
And that's forgive you, I forgive you
Seven times seventy times if that’s the cost I'll pay the price
《馬太福音》第18章記載，當彼得進前來問耶穌“我弟兄得罪我，我當饒恕他幾次呢？到七次可以嗎？”時，“耶穌說，我對你說，不是到七次，乃是到七十個七次（英語：seventy-seven times）”（《馬太福音》第18章第22節）
