Letra de «Forgiving Eyes»
Surrounded with shouts the cruel accusations
Dragged to the court no hope of salvation
All hope was lost for those who had caught me
Knew what I was, They knew all about me
I thought it seemed strange as we entered in
They stopped a young rabbi to ask His opinion
Caught in the act, their reason for hating
My body could feel the stones that were waiting
My judge a man from Galilee
In His eyes so gentle I could see
A father and a brother and a son
Chorus Just as I saw Him The hope I had lost became born again I was not hopeless though I'd been lost Now, I felt I was found when He looked at me With His forgiving eyes
The crowd gathered round, so angry and violent But He stood beside me, peaceful and silent Then with a word With one question He showed them that They too were guilty and could not condemn The next thing I knew He asked me, Where are they And I looked around the courtyard was empty The stones scattered round, the warm morning sunlight He'd made the darkness perfectly light In this new light now I understood He would not condemn me though He could For He would be condemned someday for me
Chorus Forgiving eyes

Chorus Forgiving eyes
