C                         F
Tell me I’m forgiven and loved 
           C                               F
‘Cause I hear it from the street corner priests 
        C                               F
On how God is love and how man can be clean
        C                 F 
But my joy has been on holiday 
         C                      F
And my peace has almost passed away 
  C             G          C 
Tell me I’m forgiven and free 

CHORUS:
      Am                            G/B
O I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation 
        Am                               G/B
But I bought the lie I still have work to do 
         Am                               G/B
Now I’m working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation 
           F                     C
But there is no condemnation in You 

Verse 2:
     G                             C      F
O whisper to me now that it’s for real 
                C                           F
‘Cause in the silence of these walls righteousness lost its appeal 
 C
Dirty deeds have done me in 
      G/B
O but that can’t stop the faithful friend 
         F                      C
Giving mercy once again as You heal 
                  G/B
Here it is I’m feeling it 

(Chorus)

Verse 2: 
      Am                           G/B
O He died, He died to rectify my hopeless situation 
          Am                        G/B
And His blood commands my guilt to leave 
         Am
Now on Calvary I stand 
         G/B
Empty pockets, open hands 
        C           F           C
O there is no condemnation for me 

(Chorus) 

Outro:

Child, you’re forgiven

Child, you’re forgiven and loved
