You're Looking at a Child Forgiven Songtext

von Gaither Vocal Band

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 deepest sea
He washed me clean somehow
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy happy child set free.

Now what you see is not a perfect person
What you see is not a furthless soul
What you see is someone that was broken
Until the hand of Jesus made me whole
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
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy happy child set free.

Yes, 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
So what you're seeing now
Is a happy happy child
Happy happy child
Happy happy child set free.
