    Showing my Poetic side…hope you enjoy

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When they use your Holy Name to lead us astray…

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When they use a blindfold to obscure the WAY to the TURTH…

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When they use YOUR word to manipulate our thoughts…

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When they make us toil to multiply their gold…

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When they disguise the wolves with sheep coats…

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When they guide YOUR fold to pastures full of scold…

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When they wound the ones that found the way out of their maze…

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When they don’t put our tears in the vase of their hearts…

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    When with tyranny they rule your sheep and attempt to usurp YOUR seat …

    Forgive them Father, for they don’t know what they do

    Forgive them Father, and teach us to forgive…

    For we were once guilty…of imitating their sins.

    Here my adaption:

    When they use your Holy Name to lead us astray…

    Screw them Father they are just like you

    When they use YOUR word to manipulate our thoughts

    Screw them Father they are just like you

    When with tyranny they rule your sheep and attempt to usurp YOUR seat …

    Screw them Father they are just like you

    When kill a few thousand with their blood policy

    Screw them Father they are just like you
