The Consolers – Father, Please Forgive Them lyrics

Verse 1

The hammer was heard through the streets of Jerusalem
As they nailed Jesus to the old rugged cross
Just because they didn't like His teaching
Man then crucified my Savior, my Lord
But before He died, He said...

Chorus

Father, please forgive them
Father, please forgive them
Father, please forgive them
For they know not what they do;
Father, please forgive them
Father, please forgive them
Father, please forgive them
For they know not what they do.

Verse 2

Every now and then, a good man, a good man is cut down
Slained by the hands of wicked and evil men
But if a man lay down his life of righteousness
In that Resurrection morning, He shall find it again

Chorus (rpt. as desired)
