7×70 by Chris August
I�ve been living in this house here
Since the day that I was born
These walls have seen me happy
But most of all they�ve seen me torn
They�ve heard the screaming matches
That made a family fall apart
They�ve had a front row seat
To the breaking of my heart
7 times 70 times
I�ll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way
7 times 70 times
There�s healing in the air tonight
I�m reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around
I remember running down the hallway
Playing hide-and-seek
I didn�t know that I was searching
For someone to notice me
I felt alone and undiscovered
And old enough to understand
Just when I�m s�posed to be learning to love you
Let me doubt again
7 times 70 times
I�ll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way
7 times 70 times
There�s healing in the air tonight
I�m reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around
I lost count of the ways you let me down
But no matter how many times you weren�t around
I�m all right now
God picked up my heart and helped me through
And shined a light on the one thing left to do
And that�s forgive you
I forgive you
7 times 70 times
If that�s the cost I�ll pay the price
7 times 70 times
I�ll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way
7 times 70 times
There�s healing in this house tonight
I�m reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around
Yeah
I�m gonna wrap it all around
I�ve been living in this house here
Since the day that I was born
