Guilty as charged I stand
Got here by my own hand
I’ve no defense, the evidence is clear
Left to my own design
I thought the world was mine
But all I found were chains that bound me here
I can’t deny I’m lost in sin
I could plead my own case but I would not win
The only hope I see are the stains of Calvary
So I’ll let the blood speak for me
My heart was a prison cell
My sin I knew all too well
Condemned to face this empty place inside
Held captive by selfishness
No argument I confess
No pardon due for so much foolish pride
I can’t deny I’m lost in sin
I could plead my own case but I would not win
The only hope I see are the stains of Calvary
So I’ll let the blood speak for me
The blood says I am whole
The blood says I am clean
All is forgiven, I’ve been set free
So let the blood
Let the blood speak for me
The blood says I am whole
The blood says I am clean
All is forgiven, I’ve been set free
So let the blood
Let the blood speak for me
