Lyrics
FORGIVEN Hammond/Hammond 7/02 HamFam Music, ASCAP
Verse 1:
LORD, I'M SO GLAD - IT'S NOT YOUR WILL - THAT ANYONE BE LOST.
BUT THAT ALL REPENT - AND TAKE THE GIFT, OFFERED AT THE CROSS. OUR SINS WERE WASHED, AT THE CROSS.
Chorus:
I HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN - I AM LOVED FOREVER, I AM FILLED - WITH THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. (Alt @ end) I believe in the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Verse 2:
LORD, MAY MY WORDS - AND MY THOUGHTS, BE PLEASING IN YOUR SIGHT.
OH LORD - BY YOUR SWEET GRACE, I'LL TASTE THE FOUNT OF LIFE. I'LL DRINK WATER OF LIFE.
**Chorus**
Bridge:
& OUR EYES HAVE NOT SEEN- & OUR EARS HAVE NOT HEARD-
& OUR MINDS CANNOT CONCEIVE,
WHAT THE GOD HAS DONE FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.
**Chorus**
