New Worship Music - Forgiven by Skillet

Today I preached on forgiveness. The concept of forgiveness, and sharing it with my church body, has been on my heart for several months. We all know what forgiveness is, but some of us struggle with letting go, either in forgiving someone, or being forgiven.

During my time of studying, I've enjoyed the words shared by Skillet in their song titled Forgiven. I want to encourage you to view the video below, then to read the lyrics that follow.

Forgive me now 'cause I have been unfaithful

Don't ask me why 'cause I don't know

So many times I've tried but was unable

This heart belongs to You alone

Now I'm in our secret place

Alone in Your embrace

Where all my wrongs have been erased

You have forgiven

All the promises and lies

All the times I compromise

All the times You were denied

You have forgiven

Forgive me I'm ashamed, I've loved another

I can't explain 'cause I don't know

No one can take Your place and there is no other

Forever Yours and Yours alone

Now I'm in our secret place

Alone in Your embrace

Where all my wrongs have been erased

You have forgiven

All the promises and lies

All the times I compromise

All the times You were denied

You have forgiven

I get down on my knees

Feel Your love wash over me

There will never be another

You're the only one forever

And You know, I'm Yours alone

I'm in our secret place

Alone in Your embrace

Where all my wrongs have been erased

You have forgiven

All the promises and lies

All the times I compromise

All the times You were denied

You have forgiven

You have forgiven

Forgiven, forgiven

Forgiven, forgiven

Forgiven, forgiven

Forgiven
