  			C                                      G/B     
I stand accused, There's a list a mile long 
           Am                               F 
Of all my sins, Of everything that I've done wrong 
       C                                      G/B 
I'm so ashamed, There's nowhere left for me to hide 
             Am                         F 
This is the day. I must answer for my life. 

G/B        C/E           F 
My fate is in the judges hands. 
G/B         C/E             C 
But then he turns to me and says. 

C 
I know you 
G/B 
I love you 
AM          F 
I gave my life to save you 
C                      G/B 
Love paid the price for mercy. 
Am          F 
My verdict, Not guilty 

C              G/B  
How can it be? I can't begin to comprehend. 
Am                               F 
What kind of grace would take the place for all my sin. 
C                G/B 
I stand in awe. Now that I have been set free 
Am  
And the tears well up as I look at that cross 
F 
'Cause it should have been me. 

G/B         C/E                 F 
My fate was in the nail scarred hands 
G/B         C/E                 F 
He stretched them out for me and said 

C 
I know you 
G/B 
I love you 
Am         F 
I gave my life to save you 
C              G/B 
Love paid the price for mercy  
Am          F 
My verdict, Not guilty. 

C  
I'm falling on my knees to thank you  
G/B  
With everything I am I praise you 
Am                                   F 
So grateful for the words I heard you say 

C 
I know you  
G/B 
I love you 
Am         F 
I gave my life to save you 
C              G/B 
Love paid the price for mercy 
Am         F  
My verdict, Not guilty
