I AM FORGIVEN Lyrics

If you could box your sadness, all your tearful sorrow

Would you mail it all away, sooner than tomorrow

If you could take your sin, the lies you sometimes say

Would you package it all up and send it far away

But if you want to be free from all these chains

There's only one way to break the pain

Lay it all down at the foot of the rugged cross

Put Him first, not last, let Him be the boss

Sooner than you think, the things you really hate

Will be locked behind that big black gate

With a sign above that reads, "This is where I've been

But now I'm forgiven, washed clean from my sin

When the enemy reminds you of all that you have done

Just remind him, too, "You belong to the Father's Son

Break it down

No more shame, no more chains

No more living with the weight of pain

Jesus came, took my fall

Now I rise 'cause He paid it all

Lay it all down at the foot of the rugged cross

Put Him first, not last, let Him be the boss

Sooner than you think, the things you really hate

Will be locked behind that big black gate

I know that I'm so grateful for all He has given

Thank You, Lord… 'Cause I know... I am forgiven

Lay it all down at the foot of the rugged cross

Put Him first, not last, let Him be the boss

Sooner than you think, the things you really hate

Will be locked behind that big black gate

I know that I'm so grateful for all He has given

Thank You, Lord… 'Cause I know... I am forgiven
