Lyrics Forgiven and Loved (Acoustic Version) - Jimmy Needham

Tell me Im forgiven and loved
Cause I hear it from the street corner priests
On how God is love and how man can be clean
But my joy has been on holiday
And my peace has almost passed away
Tell me Im forgiven and free

O I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation
But I bought the lie I still have work to do
Now Im working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation
But there is no condemnation in You

O whisper to me now that its for real
Cause in the silence of these walls righteousness lost its appeal
Dirty deeds have done me in
O but that cant stop the faithful friend
Giving mercy once again as You heal
Here it is Im feeling it

O I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation
But I bought the lie I still have work to do
Now Im working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation
But there is no condemnation in You

O He died, He died to rectify my hopeless situation
And His blood commands my guilt to leave
Now on Calvary I stand
Empty pockets, open hands
O there is no condemnation for me

O I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation
But I bought the lie I still have work to do
Now Im working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation
But there is no condemnation in You

Child, youre forgiven and loved
Child, youre forgiven and loved
Child, youre forgiven
And child, you are loved
Child, youre forgiven and loved
