Crucifix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With nothing but the weight on my sin that I hold
I feel so weak
I try to stand against all this evil in me
I'm thinkin' about the life I've lived
I'm thinkin' about all the dirt I did
I'm a liar, a cheater, a deceiter
And forgiveness is something that I can never deserve
I bathe my head
God, when you made me I think you made a mistake
'Cause my life is like filthy rags
So get out the wrong that I've done until I'm heavy and black
I'm a sinner, a murderer, an adulterer
And the pain in here, the only thing that I can never deserve
'Cause I feel like I'm so far away
Girl, I know I'm just two steps from never
'Cause I feel like I never could deserve your love
But I thank you that I'm forgiven
The moment I feel like I'm falling
I will go when I was crawling
And my shame was sin
But you still love me like your child
I feel unworthy
Even singing your name got with my lips are so dirty
I'm thinkin' about the wong I've done
And you as a father when you love me as a proud and coarse son
I'm a splinter wood, I'm the hammer and nails
I'm the blank sheet that you lost
I'm the damned thief, and you the side you wanna cross
Remember me in heaven, Lord
'Cause I feel like I'm so far away
Girl, I know I'm just two steps from never
'Cause I feel like I never could deserve your love
But I thank you that I'm forgiven
The moment I feel like I'm crying
I will go when I was dying
And my shame was sin
But you still love me like your child
I feel so pure
From giving up all this sin I've so long endured
And my lies are a reflection of my hate
But all this sin is just a reflection of your embrace
I spent so long throwing away my life
Falling in love with this evil, it hurt me
But without your blood, I still wouldn't be alive
But without my sin, I would know I'm your mercy
Jesus, I want you inside of me
To love me, to lead me, and to guide me, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause I feel like I'm so far away
Girl, I know I'm just two steps from never
'Cause I feel like I never could deserve your love
But I thank you that I'm forgiven
The moment I feel like I'm slipping
I will come alive and forgiving
All my shame was sin
And you still love me like your child
The song "Forgiven" by Crucifix is a powerful and emotional testament to the struggles of being human and feeling unworthy of forgiveness. The lyrics describe the weight of sin and the feelings of weakness that come with it. The singer acknowledges that they have committed terrible wrongs, such as lying and cheating, and feels that forgiveness is something they can never hope to receive. They express a deep sense of shame and unworthiness, even feeling that God may have made a mistake in creating them.
Despite their feelings of hopelessness, the singer clings to the hope that they can be forgiven. They recognize that they are just steps away from falling away completely, but they express gratitude for the forgiveness they have received. The song is a beautiful exploration of the complexities of faith, guilt, and redemption.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it describes the singer's feelings of distance from God and their doubt that they are deserving of love. However, they remain grateful for the forgiveness they have been shown, and vow to keep striving towards a better life.
Overall, "Forgiven" is a deeply moving and introspective song about the struggle to come to terms with one's own flaws and failings, and the hope of redemption through faith and forgiveness.

The first time I found Crucifix music was 7 years ago. I was at my deep ends suffering with addiction. I was parked next to my father's grave bawling my eyes out and the song "Forgiven" played on YouTube. It instantly calmed my tears. I got online and search information on Crucifix aka "Cameron Cruce". After I read his bibliography and all he went through, I then found my courage. At that very moment I made a decision that changed my life. I went home and packed up my girls and our house into a 20 foot u-haul and moved four hours away from my home town. Sometimes you have too leave everything you know behind to see what's lying ahead.
