[Verse 1]
It was a cloudy day
The earth stood still
A Man hung crying in the shadows
Of a hill called Calvary
An innocent man, belied and scorned
Had gladly borne the pain and suffering
For a world that should have died there in His place
And as He did, He said

[Chorus]
"Forgive them no matter what they've done
Forgive them and tell them they are loved
And give to them a chance to go on living
And give to them a life that they could
Never have before
Father, forgive them"

[Verse 2]
And to pay the price
He became the sacrifice
Surely, He carried all our sorrows
And He bore our every grief and did it willingly
He shed His blood for me
And through the tears, I still can see Him gaze with love
Upon the ones who cursed His Name
He gave his all to say
[Chorus]
We're forgiven no matter what we've done
Forgiven and sheltered by His love
And we're given a chance to go on living
We're given a life that we could
Never have before

[Chorus]
No matter what we've done
Forgiven and sheltered by His love
And we're given a chance to go on living
Forgiven, forgiven by His love

[Outro]
(Forgiven)
(Forgiven)
(Forgiven)
(Forgiven)
