Why Can't We - The Isaacs

He lies awake there all alone most every night

Looking back on all of his mistakes

Wishing through the tears that he could just go back

'Cause there’s a lot of things he’d like to change

He just can’t forgive himself and forget

Even though God already did

If He can love someone and find the good within

In spite of what they’ve done, no matter where they’ve been

If He can let it go and set the debtor free

If He can keep forgiving you and me

Why can’t we

There’ve been times I’ve been so hurt by someone else

I didn’t wanna give a second chance

I let all the bitterness take control

And took grace into my own hands

But even Jesus said, «Whoever's done no wrong

Let him throw the first stone»

If He can love someone and find the good within

In spite of what they’ve done, no matter where they’ve been

If He can let it go and set the debtor free

If He can keep forgiving you and me

Why can’t we

He was hated and rejected, betrayed by those He trusted

Even hanging on the cross, He said, «Father, please forgive them»

If He can love someone and find the good within

In spite of what they’ve done, no matter where they’ve been

If He can let it go and set the debtor free

If He can keep forgiving you and me

Why can’t we
