(Verse 1)
Father AGod, You have shed Your tears for Mother IDndia,
They have fallen to waAter ancient sDeeds, that will gArow,
Into hands that touch the un-touDchables,
How blesseF#md are the poor the sEick the wDeak,
(Chorus)
D (E) F#m
Father, forgive me, for I have not believed,
Like Mother InEdia, I have groaned and gArieved,
D (E) F#m
Father, forgive me, I forgot Your grace,
Your Spirit falls on IEndia, so caDpture me in Your embArace,
(Verse 2)
The serpAent spoke, and the world believed its veDnom,
Now we're F#mten to a room, or comEpared to magazDines,
--(Chorus...)--
(Verse 3) -step up to the key of B (or Capo 2)
There's a lBand, where our shackles turn to diE5amonds,
Where we tBrade in our rags, for a royal cE5rown,
In that pBlace, our oppressors hold no pE5ower,
G#m (B) E5
And the doors of the King are thrown wide,
(Chorus in 'B')
E5 (F#) G#m
Father, forgive me, for I have not believed,
Like Mother IF#ndia, I have groaned and gBrieved,
E5 (F#) G#m
Father, forgive me, for I forgot Your grace,
F# (E5) B
Your Spirit falls on India, so capture me in Your embrace,
