January 99 Winning Religious Lyrics and Review

FATHER PLEASE FORGIVE THEM
IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT YOU KNOW
THEY DO THE BIDDING OF HIM
THE ONE WE TOLD TO GO
FATHER DO NOT LAY THE BLAME
ON ANY ONE OF THESE
LET ME PAY THE PRICE FOR ALL THEIR SHAME
FATHER FORGIVE THEM PLEASE

NOW I GIVE MY SOUL TO YOU
NOW WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO
NOW MY LIFE ON EARTH IS ALMOST THROUGH?
NOW I SIMPLY CLOSE MY EYES
NOW I SEE MY FINAL PRIZE
NOW THERE'S NO MORE TEARS OR CRIES
I'M THROUGH

FATHER PLEASE FORGIVE THEM
FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO
THEY ARE SIMPLY MORTAL MEN
WHO SIMPLY DON'T KNOW YOU
FATHER THEY ARE MY BROTHERS
TREAT THEM WITH CARE AND EASE
I LOVE THEM LIKE NO OTHER
FATHER FORGIVE THEM PLEASE

NOW I GIVE MY SOUL TO YOU
NOW WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO
NOW MY LIFE ON EARTH IS ALMOST THROUGH?
NOW I SIMPLY CLOSE MY EYES
NOW I SEE MY FINAL PRIZE
NOW THERE'S NO MORE TEARS OR CRIES
I'M THROUGH

AND WITH MY DEATH OH GOD I PRAY
I WILL RISE AGAIN ONE DAY
TO SHOW THE WORLD A BETTER WAY
AND TO SEE THE SOULS I'VE WON . . .
IT'S DONE

         There are literally thousands of songs written about Jesus. Enough to fill volumes -  after all, we've had two thousand years to write them. J. P. has taken a different approach, writing these lyrics from Jesus' point of view.  Although  this judge  might not presume to write such, let's remember the enormously successful rock opera  that contained many songs  sung from  that point of view. Nice change of pace, J. P.

Nice,  J. P.,  please send more!
