we are forgiven

after we had fallen

you opened up our hearts

and spoke in truth

the bags we had to carry

they were getting heavy

but not for you

you took up our crosses

and you cut all our losses

and paid for our freedom in you

we are forgiven

covered by the blood

of a son who was given up for us

we are your children

adopted in a love

that could take all our mess and make us clean

the darkness now behind us

our hope inside a promise

you never leave

you brought us to the light god

and told us it's alright child
