When I was a child
Life was so much simpler then
Everywhere I looked
I saw kind and gentle eyes
When I would fall down
Someone knelt to lift me up
Someone with a quiet smile
And with words that seemed so wise
But as I grew the world grew cold
And suddenly I found
No one loved me, no one cared
When I would fall down
Then I met a man
Speaking words so tenderly
Words that pierced my very soul
And opened up my heart
Deep inside of me
A child was crying out for love
But sin had left a trail of tears
That tore my world apart
I've never met a man like this (A man like this)
So merciful, so kind
Who loved me as I am
And helped me leave the past behind
I'm forgiven (I'm forgiven)
Forgiven (Forgiven)
I'm forgiven (Ahhhh)
Forgiven
When I did fall down
He was there to lift me up
To sin is surely human
Forgiveness, divine (Divine)
