Forgive Them, Father (Uplifting Christian)

[Verse 1] Under a bruised and darkened sky, You bore the weight no heart could see; The hammer fell, the crowds cried out, Yet mercy moved through agony. [Pre-Chorus] No curse was heard upon Your lips, No fire answered human blame; You lifted wounded eyes to heaven, And called Your Father’s name. [Chorus] Forgive them, Father, let mercy flow, Where hatred planted pain; From wood and blood, a river runs, And washes clean our shame. Forgive them, Father, hear Your Son, The spotless Lamb who pleads; Your love is stronger than the grave, Your grace is all we need. [Verse 2] The soldiers turned, the rulers mocked, The thief beside You learned to pray; A kingdom opened in Your word, As death began to lose its claim. [Pre-Chorus] The veil was torn, the earth stood still, The Holy One drew near; In every wound, compassion shone, And conquered mortal fear. [Chorus] Forgive them, Father, let mercy flow, Where hatred planted pain; From wood and blood, a river runs, And washes clean our shame. Forgive them, Father, hear Your Son, The spotless Lamb who pleads; Your love is stronger than the grave, Your grace is all we need. [Bridge] For every hand that turned away, For every heart that could not see, You made a road through judgment’s night, And called the lost to peace. The stone is rolled, the dawn has come, The ransom has been paid; The cross reveals the heart of God, Where mercy never fades. [Final Chorus] Forgive us, Father, let mercy flow, Now through our lives released; Teach us to love as Jesus loved, And answer hate with peace. Forgive us, Father, hear our prayer, The risen Christ we praise; Your love is stronger than the grave, Your grace will lead us home. [Outro] Your grace will lead us home, Your mercy leads us home.
