Music and lyrics by Matthew David Fritz
 
Last time they were seen I was seventeen
Yet memories like surging seas still rise and fade
Seasons of my father’s life have passed me by
Yet scattered dreams and endless streams of sorrow stayed
 
There was a time when trouble came
And joy was met with pain
Yet looking back I won’t regret
My hope was shackled down with shame
But now I’m not the same
For God has made me to forget
 
Before the year of famine came my son was born
And twenty years of fruitless tears an end had met
Forces that besieged my mind with bitter scorn
No more invade for God has made me to forget
 
There was a time when trouble came
And joy was met with pain
Yet looking back I won’t regret
My hope was shackled down with shame
But now I’m not the same
For God has made me to forget
 
Oh, O Manasseh
        God has made me to forget
Oh, O Manasseh
        God has made me to forget
 
There was a time when trouble came
And joy was met with pain
Yet looking back I won’t regret
My hope was shackled down with shame
But now I’m not the same
For God has made me to forget
