Forgiving Arms
(1 John 1:8-10) 


I feel so cheap and worthless,
I've stumbled, I fell so far.
I put other things before You
now I come to wondering where You are.
I want to run and hide,
and I can't look up above.
I wait for words of anger
but You whisper words of love.
I don't know why You love me,
I don't deserve Your holy name.
I only bring You trouble
and I can' hide all my shame.
So lonely wishing I were dead,
can't even lift my heavy head.
Feels like I fell one time to many,
I don't know how You could forgive me.

Chorus
But then I hear You say:
I love you child repent and come back to me
so i run into Your open loving arms
that save and set me free.
I turn my back on sin and follow You once again,
like a child to his father, I run into Your forgiving arms.

In Your word it says
if I confess
that You will cleanse me
of all my unrighteousness.
Why would You do a thing like that, 
and suffer so much loss?
That You would shed Your blood for me
and die on a cross?

Wash me in your blood 
Holy Lamb of God.
Take away my sins, 
strip me of this facade.
I come to You expecting blows,
but You open arms of love.

Chorus
