I’m the one who held the nail /it was cold between my fingertips /I’ve hidden in the garden /I’ve denied You with my very lips /God, I fall down to my knees /with a hammer in my hand /You look at me, arms open /forgiven, forgiven /child, there is freedom /from all of it /say goodbye to every sin /you are forgiven /I’ve done things I wish I hadn’t done /I’ve seen things I wish I hadn’t seen /just the thought of Your amazing grace /and I cry, “Jesus, forgive me” /God, I fall down to my knees /with a hammer in my hand /You look at me, arms open /I could’ve been six feet under /I could’ve been lost forever /yeah, I should be in that fire /but now there’s fire inside of me /here I am a dead man walking /no grave gonna hold God’s people /all the weight of all our evil /lifted away, forever free /who could believe /who could believe /forgiven, forgiven /You love me even when I don’t deserve it /forgiven, I’m forgiven /Jesus, Your blood makes me innocent /so I will say goodbye to every sin /I am forgiven, I am forgiven
