Jimmy Needham Forgiven & Loved lyrics

Tell me I'm forgiven and loved
'Cause I hear it from the street corner priests
On how God is love and how man can be clean

But my joy has been on holiday
And my peace has almost passed away
Tell me I'm forgiven and free

Oh, I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation
But I bought the lie, I still have work to do
Now I'm working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation
But there is no condemnation in You, no, no

Oh ,whisper to me now that it's for real
Oh ,'cause in the silence of these walls righteousness lost its appeal
Dirty deeds have done me in

Oh, but that can't stop the faithful Friend
Giving mercy once again as You heal
Here it is, I'm feeling it

Oh, oh, oh, I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation

But I bought the lie, I still have work to do
Now I'm working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation
But there is no condemnation

Oh, He died, He died to rectify my hopeless situation
And His blood commands my guilt to leave
Now on Calvary I stand, empty pockets, open hands
Oh, there is no condemnation for me, yeah

Oh, I tried, oh I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation
But I bought the lie, I still have work to do
Now I'm working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation
But there is no condemnation in You

Child you're forgiven and loved
Child you're forgiven and loved
Child you're forgiven and child you are loved
Child you're forgiven and loved
