I stood in the courtroom

The Judge turned my way

It looks like you're guilty

Now, what do you say?

I spoke up "Your Honor,

I have no defense."

But that's when mercy walked in

Mercy walked in

And pleaded my case

Called to the stand

God's saving grace

The blood was presented

That covered my sin

Forgiven, when mercy walked in

I stood there in wonder

How could this be?

Someone so guilty had just been set free

My chains were broken

I felt born again

The moment that mercy walked in

Mercy walked in

And pleaded my case

Called to the stand

God's saving grace

The blood was presented

That covered my sin

Forgiven, when mercy walked in

Oh the blood was presented

That covered my sin

Forgiven, when mercy walked in
