Innocent Man

(album: Trophies Of Grace - 1986)

How could an innocent Man
Shed His innocent blood
For a sinner like me
How could He hang on the cross
Paying all of my cost
What kind of love could this be
I couldn't do it myself
Die for somebody else
But He was willing to die
For love crucified

Innocent blood of an innocent Man
His perfect life, a perfect plan
Each innocent drop eternity spans
Because of His innocent blood
I'm an innocent man

I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man
I am an innocent man

"I find no fault with this Man
I'm gonna wash my hands"
Pilate decreed
But they yelled "Crucify!
Let the King of the Jews die
And Barabbas be freed"
Then up to Calvary's hill
They led the Man to be killed
And hanging there on the tree
He died so I could be free

Innocent blood of an innocent Man
His perfect life, a perfect plan
Each innocent drop eternity spans
Because of His innocent blood
I'm an innocent man

I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man, ooh...

The final sacrifice for all sin has been made
By His innocent blood, my debt has been paid

Innocent man, innocent man
(I'm a free man)
Innocent man, innocent man
Yes, I am, oh, I am
I am an innocent man

I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man
I'm an innocent, innocent man

Innocent man
(I'm a free man)
Innocent man
I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man!
