Forgiven

Was a cloudy day
The earth stood still
A 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 our sorrows
And He bore our 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 love
And we're given a chance to go on living
We're given a life that we could never have before

No matter what we've done
Forgiven and sheltered by His love
And we're given a chance to go on living
Forgiven
Forgiven by His blood
