Gordon Mote - Live Forgiven

He goes to church on Sunday
with a smile on his face
sings about the rugged cross
he knows he's been saved
but he hears a preacher preach
at 12 o'clock he leaves still wishing
that someone really knew what is going on in his heart
he's carrying a burden
living scared and starved
Sitting in that pew
he knows what to do
to keep it hidden
so he keeps it hidden

But he is free
He just don't know it
He is loved
He just can't feel it
There's more mercy there
that he can ever fathom
He is healed and he can't see it
He is whole and he can't believe it
but the past is broken
The cross has spoken
Live forgiven

Even when we're certain
God's grace is all we got
Even when we tell ourselves
it isn't up to us
Sometimes it's hard to trust
but He says we can come like little children
cause we are his children

We are free
when we don't know it
We are loved when we can't feel it
There's more mercy there than we can ever fathom
We are healed when we can't see it
We are whole when we can't believe it
The past is broken
The cross has spoken
Live forgiven
Live forgiven

There's more mercy there than we can ever fathom
The past is broken
The cross has spoken
Live forgiven
We can live forgiven
