Jimmy Needham - Forgiven & Loved lyrics
rate meTell me I’m forgiven and loved ‘Cause I hear it from the street corner priests On how God is love and how man can be clean But my joy has been on holiday And my peace has almost passed away Tell me I’m forgiven and free CHORUS O I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation But I bought the lie I still have work to do Now I’m working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation But there is no condemnation in You O whisper to me now that it’s for real ‘Cause in the silence of these walls righteousness lost its appeal Dirty deeds have done me in O but that can’t stop the faithful friend Giving mercy once again as You heal Here it is I’m feeling it (Chorus) O He died, He died to rectify my hopeless situation And His blood commands my guilt to leave Now on Calvary I stand Empty pockets, open hands O there is no condemnation for me (Chorus) Child, you’re forgiven and loved Child, you’re forgiven and loved Child, you’re forgiven And child, you are loved Child, you’re forgiven and loved
