From the start You've held a place in my heart A place that no one else could fill But sin kept Your spirit From workin' in me I couldn't look at life honestly Until the day my will gave away To the truth that I found in You I never knew how good it could be To stand in Your presence Totally free Now I'm forgiven Now I have a reason for livin' Jesus keeps givin' and givin' Givin' till my heart overflows Now I can see You As a person who's free Even when I slip and fall He is a God Who forgives and forgets Now I want to give Him my all Cause I'm forgiven Now I have a reason for livin' Jesus Keeps givin' and givin' Givin' till my heart overflows I know this love He's placed in my heart Is a love that will never depart Sin brought me here To the end of my rope But now You've given me A brand new hope I'm forgiven
