Jimmy Needham: Forgiven and Loved Lyrics

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 a holiday
And my peace has almost passed away
Tell me I'm forgiven and freed


Oh I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation
But the bottom line, 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

Oh whisper to me now that its 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


Oh 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
Oh there is no condemnation for me

Child you're forgiven and loved
Child you're forgiven and loved
Child you are forgiven, And Child you are loved
Child you're forgiven and loved


editor's note: i absolutely LOVE this song. i wish i wrote it.
