Not Guilty



Today at church, I heard one of the most powerful songs I have EVER heard. Its called "Not Guilty" and sang by Mandisa. Below are the lyrics:



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

My fate is in the Judge's hands

But then He turns to me and says



I know you

I love you

I gave My Life to save you

Love paid the price for mercy

My verdict not guilty



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



My fate was in the nail scarred hands

He stretched them out for me and said



I know you

I love you

I gave My Life to save you

Love paid the price for mercy

My verdict not guilty



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



I know you

I love you

I gave My Life to save you

Love paid the price for mercy

My verdict not guilty





Wow, I cannot even begin to explain my reaction to this song while it was sung this morning. I just get chills reading these lyrics. I googled all afternoon to find the name of the song and artist, and when I finally found it, I went to Wal-Mart and bought Mandisa's cd called Freedom. AMAZING!

My sister and I were talking Friday night and about life and faith. As I was explaining to my sister the things I have written below in other posts, I just crave for more of The Word, and Lori and I both described it as we just want to constantly be fed with The Word. We cannot get enough. I was explaining to her how much easier it was to deal with another month without a big fat positive on a preggie test, and Lori said it was the the only way she could get through Reagan's heart surgery. With God, all things are possible.
