Justified

At daybreak he entered the temple to teach
All of the crowd sat down at his feet
He spoke with such wisdom as they never heard
With amazement they listened as he taught the word

All of the sudden in burst through the door
A woman was brought, and stood near the Lord
The sin she committed was not like the rest
Caught in adultery, the penalty death

As they awaited her sentence with stones in their hands
Jesus knelt down and he wrote in the sand
He lifted his eyes and he spoke to each one
You without sin cast the first stone

In just a few moments her accusers were gone
With no one around her, she was standing alone
He forgave her her sin and she went on her way
As she ran through the city with joy she proclaimed

Just if I had never sinned
Just if I was always cleansed
Just if I had never wandered so far from home (So far from home)
Jesus took all my sin away
He gives new mercies every day
And now I'm living my life justified

Now my sins were many and the price was too great
My accusers had gathered, could this be the day
I'd cried out to Jesus he came in my stead
He told my accusers I've paid all his debt

Just if I had never sinned
Just if I was always cleansed
Just if I had never wandered so far from home (So far from home)
Jesus took all my sin away
He gives new mercies every day
And now I'm living my life

Now I'm living my life

Just if I had never sinned
Just if I was always cleansed
Just if I had never wandered so far from home (So far from home)
Jesus took all my sin away
He gives new mercies every day
And now I'm living my life
Now I'm living my life
Now I'm living my life
Justified

I am justified
