lyrics

Seven times I have forgiven
I think that is enough, O Lord
I think that is enough
Seventy times seven? you must be kidding
I don’t think you understand just what
Those people did to me

And when it comes right down to
I don’t believe you’d ask me to endure
Such an injustice quietly
I’ve had enough now I must vindicate myself
Stand up, make sure everyone knows
Its them who’s in the wrong, not me

Out of my abundance I have given
I think that is enough, O Lord
I think that is enough
Remember that poor old woman who
Offered her whole living with her two small coins?
Yes I remember her, Mark chapter twelve

But really when it comes right down to it
I like that little story, I just don’t think it’s
Got much to do with me
That woman barely owned a thing
I’ve got sizable investments, Lord
I can’t manage them as carelessly as she

Sermon after sermon I have listened
I think that is enough, O Lord
I think that is enough
I take notes and bring them home
To my dresser drawer, but tell me
Do you lay your life down for your friends?
Do you love like me?

No really, when it comes right down to it
I pretty much do what I feel like
I see them every week and I also pray
As long as I keep showing up on Sunday
They don’t ask too many questions
And frankly Lord, I think we’ll keep it just that way

about

Jacob Mau Chicago, Illinois

Jacob Mau spins compelling stories of misfit people and misplaced landscapes oft overlooked by others, and ignored by history. As this year's winner of Chicago's longest-running open mic competition, hosted annually by Uncommon Ground, he is clearly a standout among the city's best singer-songwriters. Good things await this young musician."
