Seven Times Seventy

In the Bible.
In the Book of Matthew.
Peter asks Jesus how many times he needs to forgive his brother.
I don't think Peter liked the answer.

I wrote this song for singing in Kid's Church.

It is one of 16 songs on a CD I hope to release in August!

Sunday Songs for Every Day

The Band:
I added the 12 strings guitars and panned them full Left and Right.
I thought that it made for a nice big strummed sound.

Mixed in Reaper

Key=G , Tempo 135, Length (m:s)=2:07

Seven Times Seventy

Peter came to Jesus with a question for Him
How often must I bear my brother’s sin?
If they sin against me seven times today
What should I do?
Do it Jesus’ way!


Seven times seventy
Seven times seventy
I said, seven times seventy
You must forgive your brother.

Seven times seventy
That’s four hundred and ninety
That’s an infinity
You must forgive your brother.

So if you’ve been offended by what somebody said
And what they did to you just spins in your head
Now if they sin you against you seven times today
What are you gonna do?
Do it Jesus’ way!


Seven times seventy
I said, seven times seventy
I said, seven times seventy
You must forgive your brother.

Seven times seventy
That’s four hundred and ninety
That’s an infinity
You must forgive your brother.
