Forgiven by © David Meece

Words and Music by 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
Bellied and scorned
Had gladly borne the pain
And suffering for a world
That should have died there in His place
And as He did, He said,

Chorus:
Forgive them
No matter what they've done
Forgive them
And tell them they are loved
And give to them
A chance to to go on living
And give to them
A life that they could never lived before.

Then to pay the price
He became the sacrifice
Surely He carried all our sorrows
And He bore our every 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 say,

Chorus 2:
We're forgiven
No matter what we've done
Forgiven
And sheltered by His love
And we're given
A chance to go on living
We're given
A life that we would never have before.

"This song is about the beautiful sacrifice Jesus made for us....and that no matter what we do in life, God will always forgive us "as far as the east is to the west, so He has removed our trangressions from us". And that is love. We only have to accept His gift."
