Jesus was a man who kept the company of men
Till he got betrayed by one of them
And surely that must have been the biggest sin
But in his final hour, he even forgave him
And what he asked you then, well I now ask you too
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do
For they too have their cross to bear
In your love, please let them share
For Jesus would have understood
And brought them home to you
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do
Most of us are troubled and we cannot understand
Anything that doesnt fall into our scheme or plan
But its we have made the rules, and its we must share the blame
For its we who make outsiders, and its we who give them names
And while were praying for them, what we really ought to do
Is say, Father, forgive them, but please, forgive us too
