Matthew West
Not Guilty
[Verse 1]
I stand accused
There's a list a mile long
Of all my sins
Of everything that I've done wrong
I'm so ashamed
There's nowhere left for me to hide
This is the day
I must answer for my life

[Pre-Chorus]
My fate is in the Judge's hands
But then He turns to me and says

[Chorus]
I know you
I love you
I gave My life to save you
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict; not guilty

[Verse 2]
How can it be?
I can't begin to comprehend
What kind of grace
Would take the place of all my sin?
I stand in awe
Now that I have been set free
And the tears well up as I look at that cross
'Cause it should have been me
[Pre-Chorus]
My fate was in the nail scarred hands
He stretched them out for me and said

[Chorus]
"I know you
I love you
I gave My life to save you
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict; not guilty"

[Bridge]
I'm falling on my knees to thank You
With everything I am, I'll praise You
So grateful for the words I heard You say

[Chorus]
I know you
I love you
I gave My life
I love you
I love you
I gave My life just to save you
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict is not guilty
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict; not guilty (Not guilty)
not guilty
