It was a cloudy day, the earth stood still
A man hung crying in the shadows
Of a hill called Calvary
An innocent man, belied and scorned

Had gladly borne the pain
And suffering for a world
That should have died there in His place
And as He did, He said

'Forgive them no matter what they've done
Forgive them and tell them they are loved
And give to them a chance to go on living
And give to them a life
That they could never have before
Father, forgive them.'

And to pay the price
He became the sacrifice
Surely, He carried all of my sorrows
And He bore my every grief
And did it willingly

He shed His blood for me
And through the tears
I still can see Him
Gaze with love upon the ones
Who cursed His name
He gave his all to say

We're forgiven no matter what we've done
Forgiven and sheltered by His blood
And we're given a chance to go on living
And we're given a life
That we could never have before

No matter what we've done
Forgiven and sheltered by His blood
And we're given a chance to go on living
Forgiven no matter what we've done
Forgiven and sheltered by His blood

Forgiven
