| I walked into the courtroom Feeling defeated and lost. I knew what I'd done. I knew what it'd cost. I sat at the table While I awaited my trial. I could see opposing counsel; The contentment in his smile. I could see the stacks of papers; All the evidence he brought. And I knew this was it - All my sins he had caught. The jury came in. I could feel all their stares. As I sank even further Into the seat of my chair. I didn't want to face them So I looked at the ground While I waited for my lawyer Who hadn't yet come around. The judge took his seat While the rest of us stood. I thought I would die - If only I could. Then in walked my lawyer. All the jurors shook their heads. Opposing counsel mumbled something But I didn't hear what he said. Everyone watched As He walked up the aisle. I couldn't help what I felt. I'm sure it showed in my smile. He walked to the front Where He sat next to me. Then I heard the judge ask: "How do you plea?" |
| I took a deep breath But I couldn't utter a word Before my attorney jumped in And said: "These charges are absurd!" "I want them dismissed. For the penalty's been paid. Through the Blood of The Lamb, This man's soul has been saved." He stretched out His hands. He said: "I paid the cost!" As He showed us the holes Where He was nailed to the cross. The prosecutor stood As he yelled out with rage: "What about these sins? He can't possibly be saved!" He picked up the papers But the pages were blank. His evidence was gone - Every sin was erased. The Book of Life was opened My name read from the list. The judge slammed his gavel; Said: "All charges dismissed!" I hugged my dear Savior Who came down from His throne To pay for my sins And then welcome me home. Innocent blood So precious and pure For those who believe Salvation's assured. |
