music monday// forgiven and loved

the love God has for me is so great, i sometimes can't seem to fathom how wide and deep it really is. this song reminds me of how i cannot earn my way into the grace and salvation of Jesus Christ! like, He loves me not because of my own good deeds, but because He simply loves me! i need to be careful not to work for God's grace[undeserved favor], but to work from it. the outflow of His love into my life eventually fills up to the brim and spills over through me to others!
"therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 corinthians 5:17

forgiven and loved~ jimmy needham
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

oh, 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.

oh, whisper to me now that it's for real
oh, cause in the silence of these walls righteousness lost its appeal,
dirty deeds have done me in
oh, but that can't stop the faithful Friend
giving mercy once again as You heal
here it is, i'm feeling it

oh, oh, oh, 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

oh, 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,
oh, there is no condemnation for me.

oh, i tried, oh, 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

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.




no matter how farrr you think you've gone in the wrong direction, bad choices, sinful nature, Christ beckons you to come to Him! He has forgiveness that's rooted in a deep, deep, ocean of pure, unconditional love.

 and if You've confessed your sins and asked for forgiveness, He has forgiven you! really! don't allow the enemy weigh you down with the shame and guilt of the mistakes you've made. you. have. been. forgiven. believe it and move on in Christ! constantly let His truth fill you up to shut out the lies of the enemy.

you are truly forgiven. :)
