Can you hear me
Yeap
Come on friends Can you lift your hands
Forgiven [4x] Oh [repeat 3x]
[Verse 1:]
Can I have a moment of your time
I'm going to come from my heart
I know what I'm about to tell you
Is going to hit you where you are
See I was raised in the church but I
Found a way to do my dirt
See I was a preacher's son and you won't believe the things
I've done but I said to myself you got to do better
You Can't keep living this way you got to get it together
When I humble myself and pray I knew God would listen
Today I can hear him say my son you are
[Chorus:]
Forgiven [4x] Oh [repeat 2x]
My past is behind me
I'm moving ahead
God has forgiven me
That old man is dead
Forgiven [4x] Oh [repeat 2x]
That was yesterday
This is today
I don't care what people have to say
[Verse 2:]
People always judging everybody else situation
But when the tables are turned suddenly they get the revelation
Nobody has the power to put you in a heaven or hell
I don't regret the things I've done
Cause now I got a story to tell
And there ain't no testimony
If you don't go through the test
And you ain't got no message
If you don't go through the mess
Just humble yourself and pray
And give God confessions
And you will hear him say my child you are
[Chorus:]
Forgiven [4x] Oh [repeat 2x]
My past is behind me
I'm moving ahead
God has forgiven me
That old man is dead
Forgiven [4x] Oh [repeat 2x] (Forgiven for the sins you committed? and even though you did it)
That was yesterday
This is today
I don't care what people have to say
[Bridge:]
No I'm not innocent no
God know I've did some things yea
Somebody need to understand
That you can put your sins in the master hands
Now bow your head and repeat after me right now
Say father forgive me
I'm a sinner I need you
Come in to my heart and change my world around
Forgive me Oh Lord
Forgive me right now
I can't go another day
Living my life this way
You died for me
You rose and I confess you are Lord
[Chorus:]
Forgiven [4x] Oh [repeat 2x]
My past is behind me
I'm moving ahead
God has forgiven me
That old man is dead
Forgiven [4x] Oh [repeat 2x]
That was yesterday
This is today
I don't care what people have to say
Forgiven [4x] Oh [repeat 2x]
