[Verse 1]
You slammed that door in anger
You said words you can’t take back
Now you’re staring at the ceiling
Tracing every little crack
I’ve been holding on to heartache
Like a stone inside my chest
But I hear Him on that hillside
Saying
“Lay it down
Be blessed”
[Chorus]
Seventy times seven
I’m letting go again
Every time I’m wounded
I’m running back to Him
Cross on my shoulder
Mercy in my hands
Seventy times seven
I’m learning how to stand
More like Jesus
When I choose grace instead of keeping score
Seventy times seven
I forgive once more
[Verse 2]
Mama’s Bible on the table
Pages worn and edges torn
She said
“Baby
Hurt runs deeper
When you feed it every morn”
He was hanging there and bleeding
Still He prayed for every soul
If He can love His own accusers
Who am I to clutch control?
[Chorus]
Seventy times seven
I’m letting go again
Every time I’m wounded
I’m running back to Him
Cross on my shoulder
Mercy in my hands
Seventy times seven
I’m learning how to stand
More like Jesus
When I choose grace instead of keeping score
Seventy times seven
I forgive once more
[Bridge]
I’ve been the one who broke a heart (Lord, I know)
I’ve been the one who bore the scar (you still showed)
You kept on calling
Calling my name (calling my name)
If You can wash my crimson stain
I can open up these chains
[Chorus]
Seventy times seven
I’m letting go again
Every time I’m wounded
I’m running back to Him
Cross on my shoulder
Mercy in my hands
Seventy times seven
I’m learning how to stand
More like Jesus
When I choose grace instead of keeping score
Seventy times seven
I forgive once more
[Outro]
More like Jesus
With every hurt I lay before the Lord
Seventy times seven
I forgive once more (yeah)
