Lyrics

I walked into the courtroom
All eyes turned my way
When the Judge called for order
Oh it took my breath away
He stared at me in silence
His eyes knew the truth
My hope of freedom vanished
There wasn’t any use
No, no, there wasn’t any use

Yesterday is history and I can’t change a thing
I’ve got bloodstains on my hands and my soul is black as ink
The Judge said, All rise the jury’s coming in
They’ve come to a verdict and a sentence for my sin
Oh no, no, a sentence for my sin

Tomorrow’s gonna be an endless eternity
I looked to my defender dropped down on my knees
I asked if He could save me from the punishment to come
I wept like a baby for all that I had done oh no no
For all that I had done

I said I’d rather fall into the hands of the Living God
Than into the hands of man
I know that I’m a fool and I’ve broken every law
And I haven’t got a chance

I lifted up my eyes, and saw my Defender’s face
His eyes were full of love, though I was filthy and disgraced
They punished my Defender
He died nailed to a tree
The Judge looked up and said, His blood has set you free, Oh Oh
His blood has set you free
And I’m free, free indeed
His blood has set me free
