Forgive Them

This is a house of God
This is a house of peace
(spoken)
You will have your men lower their weapon. You will do this now!
I will speak to my people.
(sung)
What is this you do, children?
Forty years have I taught you
Not to live by word alone,
But indeed to love all men
Look upon the Prince of Peace
How you shame his house this day
We in all things shall be meek
We will turn the other cheek
(spoken)
In the hour when the wicked assail us, let us repeat our savior’s prayer.
(sung)
Oh, Father, forgive them
(Ensemble)
Oh, Father, forgive them
Oh, Father, forgive them
Oh, Father, forgive them…
