He goes to church on Sunday with a smile on his face Sings about the rugged cross he knows he's been saved But he hears a preacher preach at 12 o'clock he leaves Still wishing... That someone really knew what's going on in his heart He's carrying a burden living scared and scarred Sitting in that pew he knows what to do to keep it hidden So he keeps it hidden... But he is free, he just don't know it He is loved, he just can't feel it There's more mercy there than he could ever fathom He is healed, and he can't see it He is whole, and he can't believe it But the past is broken, the cross has spoken Live forgiven Even when we're certain God's grace is all we've got Even when we tell ourselves it isn't up to us Sometimes it's hard to trust But he says we can come like little children 'Cause we are his children We are free, when we don't know it We are loved, when we can't feel it There's more mercy there, than we could ever fathom We are healed, when we can't see it We are whole, when we can't believe it The past is broken, the cross has spoken Live forgiven Live forgiven There's more mercy there than we could ever fathom The past is broken the cross has spoken Live forgiven We can live forgiven
