Verse 1:
I will sing for You alone have rescued this life
Jesus, You have set me free
You alone took away all sin and disgrace
When You gave Your life to ransom me
Chorus:
I am forgiven at the foot of the cross
I am accepted by the power of Your love
My every stain is washed away
I am forgiven
Verse 2:
Here I stand in the light of Your glory and grace
Where Heaven’s love and justice meet
Now I live for the One who has called me by name
Who is risen and alive in me
Bridge:
I'm embraced at the foot of the cross
By the love and the mercies You have lavished on us
My every stain is washed away
I am forgiven
About This Song
"Forgiven" is a deeply personal worship anthem that celebrates the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice and the complete redemption it offers believers. The lyrics move from gratitude for rescue and freedom to a powerful declaration of being cleansed and accepted at the cross, emphasizing themes of grace, identity, and spiritual renewal. Musically, the song builds from intimate verses to a soaring, declarative chorus typical of contemporary worship, with rich harmonies and dynamic instrumentation that supports the emotional journey from brokenness to wholeness. The repetitive, confessional nature of "I am forgiven" serves as both personal affirmation and corporate declaration, making it a powerful tool for congregational worship. This song stands out in Bethel's catalog for its direct, uncompromising focus on the core Christian message of forgiveness, offering believers a anthem of assurance about their standing before God.
