Our Hymnbook

Forgiven

Kate DeGraide, Rebecca Elliott

Lyrics

Lord, forgive us for our pride

When our faith becomes a show

Dressed in righteous deeds to hide

All the stains below

We have judged Your sons and daughters

For the sin that is our own

May we now forgive each other

And lay down our stones

Forgiven, forgiven

Through the blood of Christ

We are forgiven

Lord, forgive us for our love

Of the things we wish to own

We forsake the feast above

For all the crumbs below

Though You’ve made us sons and daughter

We do not the world disown

May we find our greatest treasure

Is in You alone

Lord, forgive us for our shame

When we can’t release the past

When we’re quick to take the blame

But forget we’re free at last

We avoid Your sons and daughters

For the fear we don’t belong

Give us eyes to see each other

Through Your only Son
