Bill Gaither
Child Forgiven
I thought I had my bases cover
My destiny was in control, But
I could see I'd never reach perfection
The day I hit a slick spot in the road
And after that I thought my life was over
But Jesus had a different point of view
All I did was confess and Jesus did the rest
Thank God I've been released and made brand new

You're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner
Who's walking now in liberty

I'm standing here because of
Wondrous grace, my sins are
In the deepеst sea. He washed
Mе clean somehow cause what
You're seeing now is happy happy
Child set free

Now what you see is not a perfect person
What you see is not a spotless soul
What you see is someone that was broken
Until the hand of Jesus made me whole
Now what you see is not a finished product
And what you see might sometimes miss the mark
But I know my Father's eyes sees only His sweet prize
The perfect holy children that we are
You're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner
Who's walking now in liberty

I'm standing here because of
Wondrous grace, my sins are
In the deepest sea. He washed
Me clean somehow cause what
You're seeing now is happy happy
Child set free

You're looking at a child forgiven
You're looking at a soul set free
You're looking at a pardoned prisoner
Who's walking now in liberty

I'm standing here because of
Wondrous grace, my sins are
In the deepest sea. He washed
Me clean somehow cause what
You're seeing now is

Happy happy child
Happy happy child
Happy happy child set free
