7 x 70 - 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 have seen me torn

they have heard the screaming matches and made a family fall apart

they've had a front row seat to the breaking of my heart

7 times 70 times ill 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 theres healing in the air at night

im reaching up to pull it down go and wrap it all around

i remember running down the hallway playing hide and seek

i didnt know that i was searching for someone to notice me

i felt alone and undiscovered and old enough to understand

just when im suppose to be learning to love you let me down again

7 times 70 times ill 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 theres healing in the air at night

im reaching up to pull it down go and wrap it all around

i lost count on the ways you let me down

but no matter how many times you werent around

im alright now

god picked on my heart and helped me through

and shined a light on the one thing left to do

and thats forgive you, fogive you

7 times 70 times if thats the cost ill pay the price

7 times 70 times ill 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 theres healing in the air at night

im reaching up to pull it down go and wrap it all around

(yeah im gunna wrap it all around)
