Father forgive!
Father forgive them!
Father forgive!
Father forgive them!

Pilate found no fault in Him but gave into the people's will
The fear of them instead of God, led him to relent
He washed his hands of Jesus' blood and gave him over to the crowd
The soldiers then forced Jesus Christ to carry His cross

O the punishment that brought us peace, is upon the Lord
The pain of infinite sins on his back made Him cry out to the sky

Father forgive!
Father forgive them!
Father forgive!
Father forgive them!

On His way to Calvary, a death march through the city streets
They forced a man just passing through to carry His cross
The women wept, but Jesus said: Weep not for me, but for your selves
The day is near when you will cry out, 'Cover us!

O the punishment that brought us peace, is upon the Lord
The pain of infinite sins on his back made Him cry out to the sky

Father forgive!
Father forgive them!
Father forgive!
Father forgive them!

Abba, (Aramaic: Father)
Abba
Abba
Take this cup from me
Abba, Abba, Abba not what I will, but what you will for me

Holy Jesus Christ
Was conceived by the Spirit's light
Sinless in God's sight
Became sin for the sinners plight
Taken in the night
Sent to death, denied of rights
Jesus Crucified
For our Sin
By His stripes, we are healed

Father forgive!
Father forgive them!
Father forgive!
Father forgive them!
Father forgive!
Father forgive them!
Father forgive!
Father forgive them!
For they know not what they do!
