What is Forgiveness?

by listentothesound

Have mercy over me O God,
According to Your Love.
Wash me clean and set me straight,
That I might Love again.

Deliver me from guilty hands,
God of my salvation.
And my tongue shall sing aloud,
Of Your Great Righteousness.

Against You and You alone;
Knelt before You I acknowledge
I have sinned.
I’ve done evil in Your sight;
My heart longs to make things right
With You again.

What is forgiveness?
That my heart can sing because it’s clean
And though I sin He lives in me!
I am set free!

What is forgiveness?
That my righteous God would die for me!
Now every breath I breathe for free
That I might know you more.

Purge me with fire and I shall be clean
Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow
Make me hear joy
Make me hear gladness
I am broken, now I rejoice
I am broken, now I rejoice!

Have mercy over me O God
According to Your Love.
