[Verse 1]
They pound nails
They raise that tree
You look down
On cruelty
Spit and stone
Every bitter word they give
You taste the iron
Still you forgive
[Chorus]
Still you forgive
While the crowd is calling for blood to live
You cry to heaven
Sky starts to give
Raindrops falling
Washing what we did
They know not what they do
Still you forgive
[Verse 2]
Hands torn through
Mocking on their tongues
Gambling at your feet
Like the day is young
Thunder rolls
But mercy’s what you give
You breathe out
Still you forgive
[Chorus]
Still you forgive
While the crowd is calling for blood to live
You cry to heaven
Sky starts to give
Raindrops falling
Washing what we did
They know not what they do
Still you forgive
[Bridge]
Every drop
Every tear that hits the ground (oh Lord)
Tells a story
Of a love that won’t back down
I was there
With the ones who turned and hid
You called my name
Still you forgive
[Chorus]
Still you forgive
While the crowd is calling for blood to live
You cry to heaven
Sky starts to give
Raindrops falling
Washing what we did
They know not what they do
They know not what we did
Still you forgive
