The Witness Stand
by The Mylon Hayes Family

Album: Steady & Sure

Justice approached the bench
Where I stood condemned
And declared me unworthy to be justified
I faced the judge alone
No merit of my own
But then I heard a voice testify

And there on the witness stand
Was a Savior with nail-scarred hands
Who said I'm forgiven by the blood that He shed
All of my shame erased
Pardoned by amazing grace
Oh, praise the Lord, I'm no longer condemned
Jesus took my place instead

Sometimes my mind goes back
To the sins of my past
And Satan comes to whisper
That my soul is not redeemed
Then I recall the day
When my guilt was washed away
Forever I'm delivered and free

For there on the witness stand
Was a Savior with nail-scarred hands
Who said I'm forgiven by the blood that He shed
All of my shame erased
Pardoned by amazing grace
Oh, praise the Lord, I'm no longer condemned
Jesus took my place instead

The penalty was fully paid
On the old rugged cross
The verdict was "Not guilty"
For Jesus paid the cost

And there on the witness stand
Was a Savior with nail-scarred hands
Who said I'm forgiven by the blood that He shed
All of my shame erased
Pardoned by amazing grace
Oh, praise the Lord, I'm no longer condemned
Jesus took my place
Jesus took my place
Jesus took my place instead
Instead!
