7x70 - 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

Playin' 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 supposed to be learning to love

You let me down 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 alright 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
