Theocracy - Absolution Day

The stage is set A courtroom where I stand shackled in chains No defense to fight the charges Brought against my name Guilty on all counts And the penalty is death I cannot say a word Because I have no words to say For I deserve the final judgment Brought on me today Guilty on all counts And the penalty is death "Wait! No more!" Suddenly another takes the stand My Advocate To plead my case, a perfect, blameless man "I will take his penalty (I'll pay his price) Place the judgment all on me (Not guilty) And let him go free" Bound in chains I owed a debt that I could not pay Standing guilty in every way When grace and mercy brought absolution Adonai, I raise my hands to the sky in praise For you have taken my sin away Behold, today is my absolution day Only the death of the One Could make the sacrifice complete The Lam has sprinkled His own blood Upon the mercy seat Absolution day Burn the stain of sin away [ Lyrics from: ] "By my blood All you heavy laden, enter in I'll give you rest So lay your burden down and start again I've already paid your price (I've paid your price) And built a bridge from death to life To eternal life" Bound in chains I owed a debt that I could not pay Standing guilty in every way When grace and mercy brought absolution Adonai, I raise my hands to the sky in praise For you have taken my sin away Behold, today is my absolution day No priest can say I'm worthy No sacraments or holy laws Can take my sin away No church can wash my spirit clean For the scarlet stain that paints my soul to sleep Runs way too deep Solo No blessed holy water Can sanctify me in the eyes of God The great I am But He has made provision To lift me up and wash me in the blood Of the spotless Lamb For Christ alone is worthy To pay the price to set all sinners free For even me When all works fall short and efforts fail I realize that faith alone's the key Absolution for all who believe Repeat chorus
