Forever Forgiven

FOREVER FORGIVEN

You were there before the earth was formed

Hovering over the deep

As a mother hen broods over her eggs.

Even then, You knew I would sin.

And You knew You would forgive me.

On Resurrection Morning, 

when the stone rolled away,

And morning light danced in your eyes,

Forgiveness overflowed your heart,

Yes, enough for even me.

When the church organist played

"Softly and Tenderly

Jesus is calling," 

And I walked down the aisle

Tears of repentance

Joy of being brand new,

You were there and You forgave.

When I stand before You, Jesus,

And the scrolls are read.

You'll say, Don't hold her sin against her

I bore it instead"

And You call me "Blessed"

Forever forgiven.

Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.

Matthew 25:34
