Innocent Man
I came up with the chorus of this song many years ago – another idea I never did anything with… until today. I’m consciously trying to write a simple, memorable, upbeat, joyful song for worship that (unlike a lot of my other songs) is not “too wordy”. Have I succeeded? Interested to hear your thoughts…
Lyrics:
By the blood of Christ
The only acceptable sacrifice
By the wound in His side and the scars on His hands
I am, I am, I am an innocent man
Oh, yeah
I am an innocent man
Now we dance in the light
Where forgiveness begins
Jesus, our savior
His grace never ends
No chains on tomorrow
No stains from the past
Forgiven and free and held fast…
By the blood of Christ
The only acceptable sacrifice
By the wound in His side and the scars on His hands
I am, I am, I am an innocent man
Oh yeah
I am an innocent man
Through the veil that was torn
Through the love He displayed
He offers salvation
No need to delay
Singing His praises
And shouting His fame
Redemption is offered in no other name…
By the blood of Christ
The only acceptable sacrifice
By the wound in His side and the scars on His hands
I am, I am, I am an innocent man
Oh yeah
I am an innocent man
