Condemned! I stood
before the Judge in fear
His gavel bringing
silence to the Court
The sentence for the
broken Law was given
In horror I fell
prostrate to the floor.
I pled to have my case
somehow commuted
For deeds of charity
that I had done
Then tried to show my
deep religious fervor
By all the accolades
that I had won.
But when His blaze of
Glory fell upon me
There was no scale to
measure or compare
For sin polluted all my
human nature
And only filthy rags as
proof to wear.
Then suddenly the
weight of hell engulfed me
I could not look upon
His holy face
But from a broken heart
I pled for mercy
And from His Throne
there flowed redeeming grace.
The Judge stepped down
and taking off His garments
The sinless Son of God
in human flesh
Stood in my place
before His Court of Justice
And paid the fullest
price for all my sin.
In Christ alone there
is no condemnation
Loves greatest
sacrifice is all-complete
Praise floods my soul
with love and adoration
And through the ages
worship at His feet.
--B. Pent
