Forgiven Lyrics by Crowder

American Prodigal

2016

[Verse 1]
I'm the one who held the nail
It was cold between my fingertips
I've hidden in the garden
I've denied You with my very lips

[Pre-Chorus]
God, I fall down to my knees
With a hammer in my hand
You look at me, arms open

[Chorus]
Forgiven, forgiven!
Child there is freedom from all of it
Say goodbye to every sin
You are forgiven!

[Verse 2]
I've done things I wish I hadn't done
I've seen things I wish I hadn't seen
Just the thought of Your amazing grace
And I cry, ”Jesus, forgive me!”

[Pre-Chorus]
God, I fall down to my knees
With a hammer in my hand
You look at me, arms open

[Chorus]
Forgiven, forgiven!
Child there is freedom from all of it
Say goodbye to every sin
You are forgiven!

[Bridge]
I could've been six feet under
I could've been lost forever
Yeah, I should be in that fire
But now there's fire inside of me
Here I am a dead man walking
No grave gonna hold God's people
All the weight of all our evil
Lifted away forever free
Who could believe, who could believe?

[Chorus]
Forgiven, forgiven
You love me even when I don't deserve it
Forgiven, I'm forgiven
Jesus Your blood makes me innocent
So I will say goodbye to every sin
I am forgiven
Oh, I am forgiven
