"I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ"

Something that I'm thankful for every day is forgiveness. SO thankful. So here is a song by Sanctus Real called Forgiveness that's been popping up on the radio lately, and it really caught my attention today. I'm not sure there's another song that I can think of that so accurately describes how I often feel. Maybe it hit me today because it was definitely one of those days... I'm thankful that there are amazing artists out there that can really capture things I wish I knew how to express... and even more thankful for the last thought and reminder in this song, that "I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ." A beautiful thought... :)




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

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 dont 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
And I struggle with my pain, wrestle with my pride
Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry

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
