It was a cloudy day   The earth stood still   Man hung crying in the shadows   Of a hill called Calvary   An innocent man, belied and scorned   Had gladly borne the pain   And suffering for a world    That should have died there in His place   And as He did, He said,      "Forgive them no matter what they’ve done   Forgive them and tell them they are loved   And give to them a chance to go on living   And give to them a life that they could    never have before   Father, forgive them"      And to pay the price   He became the sacrifice   Surely, He carried all of my sorrows   And He bore my every grief    And did it willingly   He shed His blood for me   And through the tears, I still can see Him   Gaze with love upon the ones who cursed His name   He gave his all to say      We’re forgiven no matter what we’ve done   Forgiven and sheltered by His blood   And we’re given a chance to go on living   And we’re given a life that we could    never have before       No matter what we’ve done   Forgiven and sheltered by His blood   And we’re given a chance to go on living   Forgiven no matter what we’ve done   Forgiven and sheltered by His blood      Forgiven
