Forgive These Fools Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I'm tempted by men against my will
Oh and temptation won't let me be still
I walk, away, from the crowd that I'm in

[Chorus]
And then I said Lord (Forgive these fools)
Oh, Lord (Forgive these fools)
For they know not what they do

[Verse 2]
When I'm told that I can't come in
Oh, because, of the color of my skin
You know what? I smiled and said "Thank you, I'll be back again"

[Chorus]
And then I said Lord (Forgive these fools)
Oh, Lord (Forgive these fools)
For they know not what (they don't know what they do) they do

Listen!

There's so many today that don't have bread on the table Lord
There's so many, don't have shoes on their feet
But someway and somehow, the Lord blessed me to be able
To give him my service and all that I have
And when I go out and look around the community
And see men and women throwing away what the Lord hath given
It makes my heart bleed to know that the world is in such bad condition
And in my heart, it's [?] the Lord telling these words

Oh, Lord (Forgive these fools)
Oh, Lord (Forgive these fools)
For they know not what (they don't know what they do) they do

Oh-wee, Lord (Forgive these fools)
Oh, Lord (Forgive these fools)
For they know not what (what they do) they do

[Outro]
Oh, Lord (Forgive these fools)
Oh, Lord (Forgive these fools)
They tryin' to make me sin Lord (Forgive these fools)
They [?] everything against me (Forgive these fools)
Oh my Lord now (Forgive these fools)
I know you're able (Forgive these fools)
I know
