Tears dripped off of her crimson face
|
She covered her head tryin' to hide her shame
|
Caught and condemned, now she can't get away
|
Just a pawn in the hands of a Pharisee game
|
|
The noise and the rage of the frenzied grew
|
As they struggled for the power in an ageless fued
|
And as she softly cried, they again reviewed
|
The obvious fate of this ill-repute
|
|
Then a voice of love ended all debate
|
His words of hope sent the crowd away
|
The hand that flung the stars in space
|
Lifted her face and she heard Him say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Let Me introduce you to a friend called Grace
|
Doesn't care about your past or your many mistakes
|
He'll cover your sins in a warm embrace
|
Let me introduce you to a friend
|
A friend called Grace
|
|
The courtroom croud grew quiet and still
|
As the white-robed judge called Truth appeared
|
And the ring of the gavel brought a fierce debate
|
As the players of eternity decided my fate
|
|
In the light of Truth all could clearly see
|
The facts made the trial mere formality
|
And my accusers stood with baited breath
|
Confident conviction would end in death
|
|
But from the blood-stained cross to the witness stand
|
Walked a man with hope in His nail-scarred hands
|
The words He spoke brought me sweet release
|
He whispered "I've a friend that you need to meet"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
If you're tired of the guilt and the sleepless nights
|
And running from the shame of a wasted life
|
There's Someone standing with an open hand
|
Waiting there to give you a second chance
|
|
[Chorus]
|
