I have drifted, I have strayed
I have gone to far away
Can my Lord find me here
In my sin?
Feeling outcast, tired and lonely
I don't really want to own me
I just want to get back
Into His arms
I know He hears my cry
I know He hears my plea
As I pray through my tears
Down on my knees
Crying, weeping for my sin
And the struggle within
To give up all the things I desire
I know He hears my cry
I know He hears my plea
And He lifts me in his arms
So tenderly.
Forgiven!
I'm forgiven!
He will not hold my sin against me
Forgiven!
Yes, forgiven!
I have this blessed hope eternally
Why did I wait?
Why did I linger in my sin?
I knew He'd listen
Why did I hold on?
Why did I not let go?
I knew He'd free me from my burden
I know He hears my cry
I know he hears my plea
As I pray through my tears
Down on my knees
I know He hears my cry
I knew He hears my plea
And He lifts me in His arms
So tenderly
Forgiven
I'm forgiven
he loves me in spite of my faults
Forgiven!
Yes, forgiven
Now go and share the glorious results
he always hears our cries
he always hears our pleas
So come before His throne
Down on your knees!
