Lyrics:
I’m the one who held the nail
it was cold between my fingertips
I’ve hidden in the garden
I’ve denied You with my very lips
God, I fall down to my knees with a hammer in my hand
You look at me, arms open
Forgiven, forgiven
Child, there is freedom from all of it
Say goodbye to every sin
You are forgiven
I’ve done things I wish I hadn’t done
I’ve seen things I wish I hadn’t seen
just the thought of Your amazing grace
And I cry, “Jesus, forgive me”
God, I fall down to my knees with a hammer in my hand
You look at me, arms open
I could’ve been six feet under
I could’ve been lost forever
Yeah, I should be in that fire
But now there’s fire inside of me
Here I am a dead man walking
No grave gonna hold God’s people
All the weight of all our evil
Lifted away, forever free
Who could believe
Who could believe
Forgiven, forgiven
You love me even when I don’t deserve it
Forgiven, I’m forgiven
Jesus, Your blood makes me innocent
So I will say goodbye to every sin
I am forgiven, I am forgiven
