Heritage Singers — 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 set free
