I'm Forgiven

[majorgen]

It was Your love for me
When I knew You not,
That You shed Your blood
To set me free.
It was Your love for me
That drew me near,
To a Savior's heart
Who died for me.

For I did not realize
Nor understood
Why You sacrificed
Your life for all.
But not until
Your love touched me,
That Your presence
Revealed my sinful fall.

Oh Savior for the world
Please forgive me,
And let Your precious blood
Cleanse my sinful heart.
That I may know,
Love and serve Thee,
And tell others
Who Thou art.

I'm forgiven!
And through Your death
Your love and grace saved me.
And now in my joy,
I've come
To worship and praise Thee.

I'm forgiven!
Cleansed by Your blood.
My debt, You paid in full.
For this was
The perfect sacrifice,
And now I'm forever grateful.

Yes, I'm forgiven
And I know You love me too.
For on that day
You reached out to me
Even before I knew You.

And when You came
Into my heart,
You revealed
Many things to me.
But there's one thing
I now know, dear Savior,
It's for me to love
And forgive others - freely.
