David Meece<\/p>\n
(0:18) It was a cloudy day
\nThe earth stood still
\nMan hung crying in the shadows
\nOf a hill called Calvary
\nAn innocent man, belied and scorned
\nHad gladly borne the pain
\nAnd suffering for a world
\nThat should have died there in His place
\nAnd as He did, He said,<\/p>\n
(0:54) “Forgive them no matter what they\u2019ve done
\nForgive them and tell them they are loved
\nAnd give to them a chance to go on living
\nAnd give to them a life that they could
\nnever have before
\nFather, forgive them”<\/p>\n
(1:39) And to pay the price
\nHe became the sacrifice
\nSurely, He carried all of my sorrows
\nAnd He bore my every grief
\nAnd did it willingly
\nHe shed His blood for me
\nAnd through the tears, I still can see Him
\nGaze with love upon the ones who cursed His name
\nHe gave his all to say<\/p>\n
(2:15) We\u2019re forgiven no matter what we\u2019ve done
\nForgiven and sheltered by His blood
\nAnd we\u2019re given a chance to go on living
\nAnd we\u2019re given a life that we could
\nnever have before<\/p>\n
(2:50) No matter what we\u2019ve done
\nForgiven and sheltered by His blood
\nAnd we\u2019re given a chance to go on living
\nForgiven
\nForgiven by his blood<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
