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"

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

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

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
