I Know Him

I was driving home today, listening to Tammy Parnell's new solo CD. One of my favorites songs on there is her rendition of Mandisa's "Not Guilty." That song is so powerful. It makes me cry every time I hear it. God has been so good to me. I'm glad I know him. I'm grateful he knows me, loves me, and gave his life for me. Without Jesus Christ, my life would be harder to deal with it. I don't know how the unsaved do it.

My challenge: Do you know Him? If you don't, you better find out how to know Him. If you do know Him, have you loved him enough to give your whole life to Him? Many Christians get saved but then do nothing for Him. Have you done anything for Him? We can be so selfish sometimes that a football game is too important to go to church for or your fears keep you from witnessing to a stranger. Whatever it may be that keeps you from giving everything to Him, it's not worth it. He gave his Son. Would you give yours?

Verse 1:
I stand accused, there's a list a mile long
Of all my sins, of everything that I've done wrong
I'm so ashamed, there's nowhere left for me to hide
This is the day, I must answer for my life
My fate is in the Judges hands,
But then he turns to me and says

Chorus:
I know you, I love you
I gave my life, to save you
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict, not guilty

Verse 2:
How can it be, I cannot begin to comprehend
What kind of Grace would take the place for all my sins
I stand in awe, now that I have been set free
And the tears well up, as I look at that Cross
'Cause it should've been me
My fate was in the nail scarred hands,
He stretched them out for me and said...

Chorus:
I know you, I love you
I gave my life, to save you
Love paid the price, for Mercy
My verdict, not guilty

Bridge:
I'm falling on my knees to thank You
With everything I am, I praise You
So grateful for the words I heard you say

Chorus:
I know you, I love you
I gave my life...
I know you, I love you
I gave my life, just to save you
Love paid the price, for Mercy
My verdict is, not guilty
Love paid the price, for Mercy
My verdict, not guilty ... not guilty
