Forgive Them Lord

Lord
The fool heart tell them there's no God
They have done abominable work unto the Lord
They all became filthy
It's just one thing the German ask the Almighty...
Have mercy

I say, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Sin against the Father and persecute the Son
Forgive them Marcus, they know not what they've done
Sell you out for rice and peas and rum

I say, Master God, who is the Father, was unable to come
Send him one and only begotten son
Fi come teach and preach, give knowledge and wise the sum
Heal the sick, feed the hungry, and give speech to the dumb
The same set of people dem let him down
And promote coke, crack, gun, and opium
Beat up the Bobo and bust up him Congo drum
But you know thy day shall come

I say, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Sin against the Father and persecute the Son
Forgive them Marcus, they know not what they've done
Sell you out for rice and peas and rum

And a talk 'bout if a blood make e run and if a fire make e burn
Anything fi happen, make e happen and done
The whole of dem burn down Jerusalem and build up Sodom
All to Eden the fool dem a bow down
Dem have no faith, dem cyan wait, the whole of dem bite the lead
At the right time dem deh at the wrong place

But, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Sin against the Father and persecute the Son
Forgive them Marcus, they know not what they've done
Sell you out for rice and peas and rum

After me a teach and a preach to the old and the young
Me tell them, "Simmer down, settle down, watch how things a run"
One does a sign every which that we turn
That simply means say, Massa God soon come
Me tell them, "Hurry up", but nuff of dem a hurry down
Dem no waan wisdom inna fi dem cranium

Forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Sin against the Father and persecute the Son
Forgive them Marcus, they know not what they've done
Sell you out for rice and peas and rum

Run the check, soft the whole of dem off of the list
You know say, "Cleansing is, you know that is Godliness"
Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess
That's why me glad say, from me born 'til now me well bless
Know say, a we him a beg forgiveness

Who is just like a little bird inna a nest
Mi friend Terror Fabulous a beg forgiveness
For all those little days that we have left
Turn right, turn left, everyday a onset
Call me a teach the world about righteousness
How tall me a talk dem nah check

I say, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Sin against the Father and persecute the Son
Forgive them Marcus, they know not what they've done
Sell you out for rice and peas and rum

I say, Master God, who is the Father, was unable to come
So, him send him one and only begotten son
Fi come teach and preach, give knowledge and wise the sum
Heal the sick, feed the hungry, and give speech to the dumb
The same set of people dem let him down
And promote coke, crack, gun, and opium
Beat up the Naya, and bust up him Congo drum
But you know thy day shall come

I say, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Sin against the Father and persecute the Son
Forgive them Marcus, they know not what they've done
Sell you out for rice and peas and rum

And a talk 'bout if a blood make e run and if a fire make e burn
Anything fi happen, make e happen and done
The whole of dem burn down Jerusalem and build up Sodom
All to Eden the fool dem a bow down
Dem have no faith, dem cyan wait, the whole of dem bite the lead
At the right time dem deh at the wrong

But, forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
Sin against the Father and persecute the Son
Forgive them Marcus, they know not what they've done
