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 

 [bad word] 
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 it’s 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 

 [bad word]  

O He died, He died to rectify my hopeless situation 
And His [bad word] my guilt to leave 
Now on Calvary I stand 
Empty pockets, open hands 
O there is no condemnation for me 

 [bad word]  

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
