Lyrics
In the hall of judgment,
They thought they d sealed His fate,
But holy destiny was calling Him
To a hill far away.
Pilate said, Behold the Man;
I find no fault in Him."
If they could have just understood,
He was guilty of loving them!
There was no fault found in Him;
There was no legal ground
Yet God s precious holy Lamb
Was nailed to a tree!
If tender mercy was His only crime,
So that grace could be yours and mine,
Then Jesus was guilty of loving me.
He was tried, convicted,
And sentenced to die.
For a crime no one understood,
Yet they shouted, Crucify.
Then Pilate said, One shall go free,
So which man will it be
They cried My Jesus has to die."
He was guilty of loving me.
There was no fault found in Him;
There was no legal ground
Yet God s precious holy Lamb
Was nailed to a tree!
If tender mercy was His only crime,
So that grace could be yours and mine,
Then Jesus was guilty of loving me.
In the cross, In the cross
Be my glory ever
If tender mercy was His only crime,
So that grace could be yours and mine,
Then Jesus was guilty of loving me.
