Forgiven and Loved

Tell 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
