Justified

I was preachin' a sermon one Sunday

And uh, it was about, it was a parable

It was talkin' about the, um, the disciples and Jesus

When they were goin' through a corn field

And they began to pick the corn

And the pharisees, the legalistics of the day

They came and they were chastisin' them

That why are you doin' this on the Sabbath?

They had this whole discourse and dialogue between the two of them

And Jesus was sayin', listen

Do you, do you not remember that you

You yourself aren't even worthy

You guys bake unleavened bread on, on the Sabbath

And you kill the sacrifice, you clean the sacrifice

They have a need

And it's My job and My responsibility to meet their need

And I met their need

I trump the synagogue, I trump the Sabbath

I'm Lord of your life, I'm Lord of everythin' that is you

I'm Lord of this, this day

Recognize who you're talkin' to

But in the course of the whole thing

What I realized is that

The dialogue was be, between the Pharisees

Or the, the religious leaders of the day

It was between the dignitaries and the officials of the church and Jesus

The disciples never uttered a word

He literally started embodyin' His permanent position in our lives

Because He stepped in between the law and the people

And says, no, I'm grace

And because of Me, they don't have to defend themselves to you

I'll do all the talkin'

My blood will speak through all of eternity

I have justified them

Even in their wrong I know that they're wrong

I know that they make mistakes

I know that they're not perfect

I know that they do things that, that are not pleasin'

But even in their wrong, My blood will speak on their behalf

And I will just, somebody shouted shouted right there

Because He didn't kill you for all the sinful acts that you've committed

But He justified you

God bless me with this song

It simply speaks the life of that message

And I'm just excited to be able to share it with you

Hey

(Justify me)

Glorify

(Glorify me)

Paid my ransom

(Paid my ransom)

Yes, He did

(I've been redeemed by His blood)

(Go to Calvary) I've been made free (I've been made free)

Despite my enemy, yes I am

(I thank God I'm justified)

Listen, He paid the price for my life

And all that was wrong, His love made it right

Now what greater sign can any man show

Than with His own blood?

It made me whole

He (Justified me) and He glorified me (Glorified me)

Thank you, Jesus

He paid my ransom fee, yes, He did

(I've been redeemed by His blood)

(Go to Calvary) I've been made free (I've been made free)

Thank you, Lord

Despite the enemy, ay-yeah

(I thank God I'm justified)

Listen, I love this verse, listen

If my sins had their way

I never would have made it

With a debt I just  couldn't afford to pay

He came and saved me

When the enemy said that I couldn't

God said, go ahead because you're covered

By My awesome, awesome powerful blood

(Though I, I should've been dead)

And never kept alive (And never kept alive)

God's grace (God's grace) and His mercy (And His mercy)

They were on every side

When it looks like (When it looks like I can't) hey

God says, yes, you can (God says I can)

This is when He won't let you fall

(And He won't let me fall in the enemy's hand)

Oh, I'm just glad to know that God saved me

His grace and His mercy, they watch over me all night long

If it had not been, if it had not been

If it had not been, if it had not been

If it had not been for the love that was on my side

Hey, listen, I got some testimonies, listen

Just like Nineveh that was headed for destruction

God stepped in and he said (Not guilt)

You gonna live and you won't see the day of destruction

Just like Daniel who was condemned to the lion's den

God said (Not guilt)

You're gonna live (Yeah)

Just like David who was dearly beloved in spite of God said

(Not guilt)

Yeah

Hey

(Let's talk about you)

If you be honest with yourself tonight

If it hadn't been for the grace of God

You would've been, you could've been

Yeah, listen, hey

To the liar (Not guilt)

To the cheater (Not guilt)

To the deceiver (Not guilt)

Even to the believer (Not guilt)

There is their point no condemnation to them (Not guilt)

That are in Christ Jesus (Not guilt)

Yeah, yeah (Not guilt)

Hey

Some of y'all got it twisted, listen (Not guilt)

If it hadn't been for God

(God did it) You wouldn't have made it

Hey, don't get confused about who kept you

Hey (God did it)

When the enemy said that I couldn't, God did it (God did it)

When my haters said that I wouldn't, God did it (God did it)

Hey, I thought we'd never get out of the poor house, but (God did it)

I thought we'd never see the White House but I'm claimin' it (God did it)

Hey and if you'll be honest, He's been over your house (God did it)

Every grateful heart, just bless His name (God did it)

Who delivered you? (God did it)

Be honest about it, who kept you, yeah (God did it)

Come on and testify who brought you, yeah (God did it)

Hey, just shout, God, did it (God did it)

Point to Heaven and give Him glory, God did (God did it)

Come on and testify, yeah

Hey (God did it) one more time

If your praise is ringin', say, God did it (God did it)

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, God did it

Every time I turn around

It's but God, but God, but God, but God

They said I wouldn't, but God

They said I couldn't, but God

They said I shoulda been dead, but God

They said I shoulda been sick, but God

They said I never shoulda made it, but God

Come on and just shout

God did it (God did)

God did it (God did)

God did it (God did)

God did it (God did)

I don't believe yourself (God did)

Like your grateful self (God did)

Yeah, everybody say

God did it
