It was a cloudy day
The earth stood still
A man hung crying in the shadows
On 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 our sorrows
And He bore our 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
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
