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,
"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 Oh
Father, forgive them"
And to pay the price
He became the sacrifice
Surely, He carried all of my sorrows
And He bore my 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
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
And we're given a life that we could
never have before
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
