Child Forgiven
I thought I had my bases covered
My destiny was in control
But I could see I'd never reach perfection
The day I hit a slick spot in the road
After that I thought my life was over
But Jesus had a different point of view
All I did was confess, and Jesus did the rest
Thank God I've been released and made brand new
You're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner who's walking now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy, happy child set free
Now what you see is not a perfect person
What you see is not a faultless soul
What you see is someone who was broken
Until the hand of Jesus made me whole
What you see is not a finished product
What you see might sometimes miss the mark
But I know my Father's eyes see only His sweet prize
The perfect holy children that we are
You're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner who's walking now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy, happy child set free
Yes, you're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner who's walking now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy, happy child
Happy, happy child
Happy happy child set free
My destiny was in control
But I could see I'd never reach perfection
The day I hit a slick spot in the road
After that I thought my life was over
But Jesus had a different point of view
All I did was confess, and Jesus did the rest
Thank God I've been released and made brand new
You're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner who's walking now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy, happy child set free
Now what you see is not a perfect person
What you see is not a faultless soul
What you see is someone who was broken
Until the hand of Jesus made me whole
What you see is not a finished product
What you see might sometimes miss the mark
But I know my Father's eyes see only His sweet prize
The perfect holy children that we are
You're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner who's walking now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy, happy child set free
Yes, you're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner who's walking now in liberty
I'm standing here because of wondrous grace
My sins are in the deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy, happy child
Happy, happy child
Happy happy child set free
