From the start You've held a place in my heart A place that no one else could fill But sin kept Your spirit from working in me I couldn't look at life honestly Until the day my will gave away to the truth that I found in you I never knew just how good it could be To stand in Your presence totally free Now I'm forgiven Now I have a reason for living Jesus keeps giving and giving Giving till my heart overflows I'm forgiven Now I have a reason for living Jesus keeps giving and giving Giving till my heart overflows Now I can see me as a person who's free Even when I slip and fall You are a God who forgives and forgets Now I want to give you my all Cause I'm forgiven Now I have a reason for living Jesus keeps giving and giving Giving till my heart overflows I know this love You placed in my heart Is a love that will never depart Sin brought me here to the end of my rope But now you've given me a brand new hope I'm forgiven
