The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You are the great, great forgiver
There is no story You can't change
No broken heart that You can't save
I needed someone who
Could do what I could not do myself
Wash my sin away
'Cause You are the great, great forgiver
Nobody else gonna take my trouble
Nobody else gonna take my shame
'Cause You are the great, great forgiver
Nobody else gonna take my trouble
Nobody else gonna take my shame
I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You
You are the great, great forgiver
You say I never have to hide
Your love for me is ocean wide
For all the things that You've done
All the battles that You've won for me
I'm thankful all the time
'Cause You are the great, great forgiver
Nobody else gonna take my trouble
Nobody else gonna take my shame
'Cause You are the great, great forgiver
Nobody else gonna take my trouble
Nobody else gonna take my shame
I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You
You are the great, great forgiver
I'm home, I'm free
I belong to the great forgiver
No chains on me
I'm Yours forever
I'm home, I'm free (I'm home, I'm free)
I belong to the great forgiver
No chains on me (No chains on me)
I'm Yours forever
You are the great, great forgiver
Nobody else gonna take my trouble
Nobody else gonna take my shame
'Cause You are the great, great forgiver (You are the great)
Nobody else gonna take my trouble
Nobody else gonna take my shame
I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You
(I need You, oh, I need You)
You are the great, great forgiver
I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You
You are the great, great forgiver
