FORGIVEN AND LOVED
Romans 8:1, Ephesians 3:17-19
Written by Jimmy Needham, Ryan Wayson and Blake Samperi

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 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

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
