One Drop Of Blood



Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan



Standing in the courtroom

When I heard, how do you plead?

The accuser of the brethren

Was staring at me

He said, we got your number

There is no escape

For here are your transgressions,

Your failures and mistakes



He pointed to the corner

Where the scales of justice stood

I saw so many failures there

There was nothing good

And in that very moment

When it seemed all hope was lost

I said, I plead the blood of Jesus

And his death upon the cross



CHORUS:

One drop of blood

Fell to the scales

It covered my transgressions

And all the times I failed

The enemy was mighty

He came in like a flood

He was defeated by one drop of blood



I stood and watched in silence

As others were brought in

I saw them start to tremble

When they turned and faced their sin

They offered no excuses

They offered no alibis

The truth was overwhelming

And it would not be denied

Their righteousness like filthy rags

And nothing they could say

They bowed their heads in silence

As they were led away

But for the true believers

Each time it was the same

His glory shown around them

As they called upon his name



One drop of blood

Fell to the scales

It covered their transgressions

And all the times they failed

The enemy was mighty

He came in like a flood

He was defeated by one drop of blood



No greater sacrifice has any other made

Oh yes he paid the price

With every drop he gave



CHORUS (repeat 2X)
