Song Lyrics

---

When every single night,
The tears fell just the same
You were filled with love
And softly You called my name
When my legs were so weak
And I could not stand
You came down beside me
And gently You took my hand
When I felt far away and so out of reach
That was when You came looking for me

Now I am forgiven, I am clean
I have been called by Your endless mercy
I’m forgiven, I am new
I’m constantly yearning to be closer to You
My eyes have been set on Heaven
And I know that I am forgiven

When I lived in darkness,
So lost and alone
You showed me Your light
And You called me Your own
When I was imprisoned,
Shackled and bound
You broke my chains and You showed me
Where freedom could be found
And after all and everything I’ve been through
I’ve found a joy that comes when I run to You

Now I am forgiven, I am clean
I have been called by Your endless mercy
I’m forgiven, I am new
I’m constantly yearning to be closer to You
My eyes have been set on Heaven
And I know that I am forgiven

You are my refuge, You are the One I need
I hide in You and You live in me
You are my Lord, my God, my Savior, and my King
You are all of my life, You are maker of everything
I was in Your heart when You died on the tree
And Your love lasts for all eternity

And I am forgiven, I am clean
I have been called by Your endless mercy
I’m forgiven, I am new
I’m constantly yearning to be closer to You
My eyes have been set on Heaven
And I know that I am forgiven
