One of the many
reasons I enjoy singing gospel music is that it’s the only kind of music
where the words can change a life. Two
of my favorite songwriters are Legacy’s own Durwood Hargis and Rodney
Griffin of Greater Vision. In
listening to a video recently, I heard the Florida Boys sing one of Rodney
Griffin’s songs, which really ministered to me.
The words were such a blessing, I decided to relay them to you this
month and I hope it touches you like it touched me.
The song is titled, “I’m Forgiven” and the words are as
follows:
………………………………..
“You’ve been living in the shadows, of your hurts and past mistakes.
If you had the chance, you’d love to try again.
I too wish I could go back and change the things I’ve done.
It’s only by the blood of Jesus I can say:
I’m
forgiven. I’ve been forgiven, of the things that had brought me guilt
and shame; Now I am free, to live in victory.
Those sins of mine are all behind.
I’ve been forgiven.
There’s
no need to recall the times, you’ve wandered from the Lord; If His
cleansing flow has washed your sins away. So when Satan reminds you
of your past, remind him of his future. He knows he’ll never have
the chance to say;
I’m forgiven. I’ve been forgiven, of the things that had brought me guilt and shame; Now I am free, to live in victory. Those sins of mine are all behind. I’ve been forgiven”

Griffin/Songs of Greater Vision)
