Forgiven

When I look at the One I have pierced
My anguish is powerful and fierce
Yet it was for my sin that He died.
For my iniquity, He was crucified
Yes, Christ took on my lost condition
As he hung on the cross in full submission.

Though I am guilty, a chief transgressor
King Jesus is my intercessor,
On my behalf to the living God
Why, even the angels in Heaven applaud
When as far as the east is from the west
He’s removed and forgiven all I’ve transgressed!

Yes, I’ve been forgiven! Praise to the Son!
Completely forgiven of all wrong I’ve done!
My Jesus so willingly paid the whole price.
For sin past and present, He was sacrificed
I’ve been given the chance to go on freely livin’
For by His great love, I’VE BEEN FORGIVEN!
