Standing in the courtroom
|
When I heard how do you plead
|
The accuser of the brethren was staring at me
|
He said we got your number
|
There is no escape
|
For here are your transgressions
|
Your failures and mistakes
|
Where the scales of justice stood
|
I saw so many failures there
|
There was nothing good
|
And in that very moment
|
I said I plead the blood of Jesus
|
And his death upon the cross
|
|
CHORUS
|
One drop of blood
|
Fell to the scales
|
It covered my transgressions
|
For all the times I failed
|
The enemy was mighty
|
He came in like a flood
|
He was defeated by one drop of blood
|
|
I stood and watched in silence
|
As others were brought in
|
I saw them start to tremble
|
When they turned and faced their sin
|
They offered no excuses
|
They offered no alibis
|
The truth was overwhelming
|
And it would not be denied
|
Their righteousness like filthy rags
|
And nothing they could say
|
They bowed their heads in silence
|
As they were led away
|
But for the true believers
|
Each time it was the same
|
His glory shown around them as
|
They called upon his name
|
|
One drop of blood
|
Fell to the scales
|
It covered their transgressions
|
For all the times they failed
|
The enemy was mighty
|
He came in like a flood
|
He was defeated by one drop of blood
|
No greater sacrifice has any other made
|
O yes he paid the price
|
With every drop he gave
|
|
