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
Where the scales of justice stood
I saw so many failures there
There was nothing good
And in that very moment
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
For 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
For 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
O yes he paid the price
With every drop he gave
