We wove the crown of thorns
That our precious Savior wore
FORGIVE THEM FATHER
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
We weilded the whip
That tore into His flesh
FORGIVE THEM FATHER
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
We drove the nails
That held Him to the cross
FORGIVE THEM FATHER
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
We lifted the spear
That pierced his side.
FORGIVE THEM FATHER
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
They are Your precious sons and daughters
Who will take up Your sword
And fight the enemy
They are Your precious sons and daughters
Who will go into the world
And open the eyes of the blind
They are Your precious sons and daughters
Who will overcome evil
And receive the victor’s crown
They are Your precious sons and daughters
And it is for them
That all this pain I bear.
FORGIVE THEM FATHER
THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
