I've tried everything I know Just to earn a piece of mercy for my soul Despite my strain Guilty I remained Then I found forgiveness I found grace All condemnation You've erased Taking my death and giving me life I have been justified You gave hope a place to stand Paying all the cost Your holiness demands Free from all All that I deserve I found forgiveness I found grace All condemnation You've erased Taking my death and giving me life I have been justified Freedom from my darkest hours Freedom to be in the light Freedom I am blameless in Your sight I found forgiveness I found grace All condemnation You've erased Taking my death and giving me life I have been justified
