From the start
You've held a place in my heart
A place that no one else could fill
But sin kept Your spirit
From workin' in me
I couldn't look at life honestly
Until the day my will gave away
To the truth that I found in You
I never knew how good it could be
To stand in Your presence
Totally free

Now I'm forgiven
Now I have a reason for livin'
Jesus keeps givin' and givin'
Givin' till my heart overflows

Now I can see You
As a person who's free
Even when I slip and fall
He is a God
Who forgives and forgets
Now I want to give Him my all

Cause I'm forgiven
Now I have a reason for livin'
Jesus Keeps givin' and givin'
Givin' till my heart overflows

I know this love
He's placed in my heart
Is a love that will never depart
Sin brought me here
To the end of my rope
But now You've given me
A brand new hope
I'm forgiven
