"FORGIVEN"

I've heard a song on the radio a LOT lately, and I think it's God trying to drill into my head something that I need to hear. This past week was a rough one for me. Wednesday was the one-year anniversary on an action I will regret for the rest of my life, and it's something I cannot take back or fix. But God keeps wanting me to hear that I'm forgiven, even though I can't seem to forgive myself.

Here's a link to the video, as well as the lyrics:

FORGIVEN - Sanctus Real

Well the past is playing with my head
Failure knocks me down again
I’m reminded of the wrong
That I have said and done
That devil just won’t let me forget

In this life
I know what I’ve been
But here in your arms
I know what I am
I’m forgiven
I'm forgiven
I dont have to carry
The weight of who I’ve been
‘Cause I’m forgiven

My mistakes are running through my mind
I re-live my days in the middle of the night
When I struggle with my pain
Wrestle with my pride
Sometimes I feel alone and I cry

In this life
I know what I’ve been
But here in your arms
I know what I am

I’m forgiven
I'm forgiven
I dont have to carry
The weight of who I’ve been
‘Cause I’m forgiven

When I don’t fit in
And I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t measure up to much in this life
I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ

‘Cause I’m forgiven
Oh, I'm forgiven
I dont have to carry
The weight of who I’ve been
‘Cause I’m forgiven
