Forgive Them
©2007 Lisa Horan

Forgive them
Is what He said
As they drove nails into his hands
As his flesh swelled and bled

Forgive them, Father
For they know not what they do
In unspeakable pain
This man pled for me and you

Pre-Chorus
He could have stopped it all
And escaped the agony
But nothing could hinder the love
That He has for you and me

Chorus
Jesus
Jesus
There is no greater love than his

Jesus
Jesus
Endured the cross so we could live
Endured the cross, so we could live

Help them
Is his request
Even though we forsake him
He still wants us to be blessed

Help them, Father
Show them mercy
This man stands in our defense
Though we're so unworthy

Pre-Chorus
He could have stopped it all
And escaped the agony
But nothing could hinder the love
That He has for you and me

Chorus

Bridge
No words can express
The scale of His sacrifice
The greatness of His pain
The depth of the price

He surrendered Himself
And took His last breath
To rescue us
He accepted death

Chorus
