"Child You're Forgiven and Loved"

There is a GREAT new Christian artist named Jimmy Needham that I came across today. He sings a great song called "Forgiven and Loved."

I thought it was interesting how the song progresses. At first he tries to fix his life by himself. It says "I bought the lie" that he could fix his own situation. Then he goes on saying that
Jesus died to fix his situation.

I think the part I like most is when he repeats the phrase "Child you are forgiven and loved." I think we all long to hear that...and God tells us that ALL THE TIME...but do we listen?

Here are some of the lyrics.

"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

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

Child, you’re forgiven and loved
Child, you’re forgiven and loved
Child, you’re forgiven
And child, you are loved"


it also helps that he has a GREAT voice and i love his style of music.

Enjoy your Monday!
