One of my favorite sentences that Jesus ever spoke was, “Forgive them, Father! They don’t know what they are doing.” Take a listen to another song of mine from back in the day when one of my focuses was writing for children.
I confess, I am forgiven!
I-M-U-R-F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
Words and music by Douglas C. Eltzroth
One, two, three, four
I-M-U-R F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I-M-I-M F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I-M-I-M F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I-M-I-M
That is why I sing and shout
That is why I dance about
I-M-I-M F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I agreed with God
That I’d done something wrong
I believed and He forgave
And gave to me this song
F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
U-R-U-R F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
U-R-U-R F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
U-R-U-R F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
Now it’s time to sing and shout
Now it’s time to dance about
U-R-U-R F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I confessed to God
That I’d done something wrong
I believed and He forgave
And gave to me this song
F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I-M-I-M F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I-M-I-M F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I-M-I-M F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
I-M-I-M
That is why I sing and shout
That is why I dance about
I-M-I-M F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
