I stood in the courtroom, the judge turned my way
It looks like you're guilty now what do you say?
I spoke up, "Your honor, I have no defense"
But that's when mercy walked in
Mercy walked in and pleaded my case
Called to the stand, God's saving grace
The blood was presented that covered my sin
Forgiven when mercy walked in
I stood there and wondered how could this be
Someone so guilty had just been set free
My chains were broken, I felt born again
The moment that mercy walked in, oh-oh
Mercy walked in and pleaded my case
Called to the stand, God's saving grace
The blood was presented that covered my sin
Forgiven when mercy walked in
The blood was presented that covered my sin
Forgiven when mercy walked in
