Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 Tell me I’m forgiven and loved

 ‘Cause I hear it from the street corner priests

 On how God is love and how man can be clean

 But my joy has been on holiday

 And my peace has almost passed away

 Tell me I’m forgiven and free

Chorus

 O I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation

 But I bought the lie I still have work to do

 Now I’m working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation

 But there is no condemnation in You

Verse 2

 O whisper to me now that it’s for real

 ‘Cause in the silence of these walls righteousness lost its appeal

 Dirty deeds have done me in

 O but that can’t stop the faithful friend

 Giving mercy once again as You heal

 Here it is I’m feeling it

(Chorus)

Verse 2

 O He died, He died to rectify my hopeless situation

 And His blood commands my guilt to leave

 Now on Calvary I stand

 Empty pockets, open hands

 O there is no condemnation for me

(Chorus)

Outro

 Child, you’re forgiven and loved

 Child, you’re forgiven and loved

 Child, you’re forgiven

 And child, you are loved

 Child, you’re forgiven and loved
