Can I have a moment of your time?
I'm gonna come from my heart
And know what I'm 'bout to tell
Is gonna hit you where you are
See I was raised in the church
But I found the way to do my dirt
See, I was a preacher's son
And you won't believe the things I've done
But I said to myself, you gotta do better
You can't keep livin' this way
You gotta get it together
When I humble myself and pray
I knew God would listen
Today I can hear Him say
"My son, you are"
Forgiven
(Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
Forgiven
(Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
My past is behind me, I'm movin' ahead
God has forgiven me, that old man is dead
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
That was yesterday, this is today
I don't care what people have to say
People always judgin' everybody else's situation
When the tables are turned, suddenly they get the revelation
Nobody has the power to put you into heaven or hell
I don't regret the things I've done 'cause now I got a story to tell
And there ain't no testimony if you don't go through the test
And you ain't got no message if you don't look through the mess
Just humble yourself and pray
And give a confession
And you will hear Him say
"My child, you are"
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
My past is behind me, I'm movin' ahead
God has forgiven me, that old man is dead
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
That was yesterday, this is today
I don't care what people have to say
No, I'm not innocent, no
God knows I did something's, yeah
Somebody need to understand
That you can put your seams in the Masters hands
Now bow your head and repeat after me, right now
Sing Father, forgive me, I'm a sinner, I need you
Come in to my heart and change my world around
Forgive me, O Lord, forgive me right now
I can't go another day livin' my life this way
You died for me, You rose and I confess, You are Lord
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
My past is behind me, I'm movin' ahead
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
God has forgiven me, that old man is dead
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
Forgiven
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
That was yesterday, this is today
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
I don't care what people have to say
(Forgive, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, oh)
