Songtexte Child Forgiven - Gaither Vocal Band

I thought I had my bases covered
My destiny was in control
But I could see I'd never reach perfection
The day I hit a slick spot in the road
And after that, I thought my life was over
But Jesus had a different point of view
All I did was confess
And Jesus did the rest
Thank God I've been released and made brand new

Now you're lookin' at a child forgiven
You're lookin' at a soul set free
You're lookin' at a pardoned prisoner
Who's walkin' now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seein' now
Is a happy, happy child set free

Now what you see is not a perfect person
What you see is not a faultless soul
What you see is someone that was broken
Until the hand of Jesus made me whole
Now what you see is not a finished product
No, what you see might sometimes miss the mark
But I know my Father's eyes
See only His sweet prize
The perfect, holy children that we are

Yes, you're lookin' at a child forgiven
You're lookin' at a soul set free
You're lookin' at a pardoned prisoner
Who's walkin' now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seein' now
Is a happy, happy child set free

Yes, you're lookin' at a child forgiven
You're lookin' at a soul set free
You're lookin' at a pardoned prisoner
Who's walkin' now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seein' now
Is a happy, happy child
Happy, happy child
Happy, happy child set free
