Well the past is playing with my head And failure knocks me down again I'm reminded of the wrong That I have said and done And that devil just wont let me forget [Chorus] 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 And I don't have to carry The weight of who I've been 'Cause I'm forgiven My mistakes are running through my mind And I'll relive my days, in the middle of the night When I wrestle with my pain, struggle with my pride Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry [Chorus] 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 Oh, I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ 'cause 'Cause I'm forgiven I'm forgiven And I don't have to carry The weight of who I've been 'Cause I'm forgiven.
