Forgiven
(David Meece)

It 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 suff'ring 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.

Oooo, Father forgive them."

Then to pay the price,
He became the sacrifice.
Surely He carried all our sorrows,
And He bore our ev'ry 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 save.

We're
Forgiven, 
No matter what we've done,
Forgiven
And sheltered by His love.
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 love.
