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've 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
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
It covered their transgressions
And all the times they failed
No greater sacrifice
Has any other made
Oh yes He paid the price
With every drop He gave
Chorus 2X
