Forgiven

By Skye Shae Bonati

Circa 2018

This song appears on the 2020 record, I Want To Bring You Glory by Skye Shae Bonati, produced by Noah Wolf.

How little time I spend making mistakes,

But how long I pay for them!

God, give me faith to believe I’m forgiven

It would feel better to know that I’d done it on purpose,

And know that right now I rightly deserve this

Jesus, I cut Your back with my words,

And I struck You with feelings of hurt and of anger

Crosses were usually for strangers and thieves,

But You climbed up on the one in the center of time for me

"Sorry" never seems to be believed, (believe me)

And months pass like hours without my relief

O Lord, I confess that I haven’t confessed like I should,

But they never answer, or I would confess if I could!

Jesus, I cut Your back with my words,

And I struck You with feelings of hurt and of anger

Crosses were usually for strangers and thieves,

But You climbed up on the one in the center of time for me

Amen, amen, let it be so!

I am forgiven

Amen, amen, Heaven make it so!

I am forgiven

I am forgiven

I am forgiven

Jesus, I cut Your back with my words,

And I struck You with feelings of hurt and of anger

Crosses were usually for strangers and thieves,

But You climbed up on the one in the center of time for me

Amen, amen, let it be so!

I am forgiven

Amen, amen, Heaven make it so!

I am forgiven

I am forgiven

I will forgive them too
