Forgiven

FORGIVEN

Well the past is playing with my head

And failure knocks me down again

I am reminded of the wrong that I have said and done

And that devil just won’t let me forget

In this life I know what I’ve been
But here in Your arms I know what I am
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven
I don’t have to carry the weight of who
I’ve been ’cause I’m forgiven

And my mistakes are running through my mind
And I relive my days in the middle of the night
And I struggle with my pain
And wrestle with my pride

Sometimes I feel alone and I cry
When I don’t fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t measure up to much in this life
Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘Cause ….

In this life I know what I’ve been
But here in Your arms I know what I am
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven
I don’t have to carry the weight of who
I’ve been ’cause I’m forgiven

The Message puts Titus 2:11 this way "God's readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation's available for everyone!"

I don't need to work my way to redemption or forgiveness, because I can never work hard enough. I will never be able to be worthy.

But Titus 2:11 tells me that God is ready to give and forgive. Regardless of what we have done and what we have been.

The chorus in the song Forgiven by Sanctus Real really speaks to my heart ...

In this life I know what I’ve been But here in Your arms I know what I am I’m forgiven I’m forgiven

I don’t have to carry the weight of who I’ve been ’cause I’m forgiven

Praise God I am more than redeemed, I am forgiven!
