Already forgiven

Two thousand years ago
when Christ climbed the cross
when he chose to suffer and died
that is when he paid the cost
the cost of our sin
of yours and mine
we are already forgiven
arise, arise
arise from the ashes
arise from your sin
you have been freed
new life to begin
walk more boldly
step out in faith
for you are already forgiven
by God’s amazing grace
