A friend of mine had some lyrics and she asked me if I might be interested in co-writing with her. I looked at her lyrics and the music flowed easily - - a few minor adjustments to the lyrics and the rest is history
Lyrics
Verse 1:
The Angels cried with silent tears
Their hearts were filled with pain & fears
For no one knew the Father's plan
As they hung His Son in the Promised Land
Forgive them for they know not what they do.
Chorus:
Forgive them Father, for their hearts have run cold
Forgive them Father, for their sins are untold
Not a single tear from a sinner's face
While they watched the Lamb as He took their place
Forgive them for they know not what they do.
Verse 2:
God spoke not a word from high above
As the world turned its back on the one he sent with love
Three days seemed so long to Him
But His Son arose & came home again
Have Mercy for they know not what they do.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
Jesus fought to victory
He conquered worlds & set men free
If you praise His Kingdom, Power & Name
Your life will never be the same
Have mercy once we know just what we do.
