Tell me I'm forgiven and loved
Cause I hear it from the street corner priest, yes
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 am forgiven and free
CHORUS
Oh I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation
But, I bought the lie I still have work to do
Now I'm workin' nine to five like I can earn my own salvation
But, there is no condemnation in you
Oh whisper to me now that it's for real
Cause in the silence of these walls righteous lost it's appeal
Dirty deeds have done me in
Oh, but that can't stop the faithful friend
Giving mercy once again as you heal
Here it is I'm feelin' it
(Chorus)
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, empty hands
Oh 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
