I read up on something about forgiveness
He was sayin' seventy times seven
Lord I think that’s why I keep gettin’ lost
Is that the address on the door to heaven?

I wonder if someone is keeping track
This train’s headin’ for another wreck
I can’t keep count and I can’t ride true
I only see a plank that once was a spec

I’m not keeping a list, well
that’s not exactly true, sometimes it’***** or miss
I know I need to get stronger, but
that kind of forgiveness is like walking on water

I started thinkin’ maybe it’s somethin’ different
Is it just a number or somethin' about a trinity?
I keep tellin’ everybody the things they do to me
Maybe God’s sayin’ you only have to count to three

Is that the way
Is that the number
Is that everything
I can’t count high enough
I can’t forgive often enough
Why can’t I live the way of the King?

Four ninety
Four ninety
Is that the address on the door?
I'm gonna' go ahead and knock
But I don't know if I can forgive her anymore
Country lyrics

This is one of those being honest with yourself kind of things; I hold grudges and I know it's not the way to live.
