Forgiven - David Meece

It was a cloudy day

The earth stood still

Man hung crying in the shadows

Of a hill called Calvary

An innocent man, belied and scorned

Had gladly borne the pain

And suffering for a world

That should have died there in His place

And as He did, He said

«Forgive them no matter what they’ve done

Forgive them and tell them they are loved

And give to them a chance to go on living

And give to them a life that they could

Never have before

Father, forgive them»

And to pay the price

He became the sacrifice

Surely, He carried all of my sorrows

And He bore my every grief

And did it willingly

He shed His blood for me

And through the tears, I still can see Him

Gaze with love upon the ones who cursed His name

He gave his all to say

We’re forgiven no matter what we’ve done

Forgiven and sheltered by His blood

And we’re given a chance to go on living

And we’re given a life that we could

Never have before

No matter what we’ve done

Forgiven and sheltered by His blood

And we’re given a chance to go on living

Forgiven no matter what we’ve done

Forgiven and sheltered by His blood

Forgiven
