Cântăre The courtroom

If tonight you stood in Heaven's court

To seek eternal favor

Would you face Jesus Christ as judge

Or would you face Him as your savior?



There are many who don't know quite for sure

What that verdict would be if ever

So let's imagine for a moment you're standing dead center

In the court room of Forever



Sitting before you is a structure

Massive and intense

It's here your fate will be determined

Before this judges' bench



Then a voice booms, "This Courts now in session"

And your adrenaline starts to rush

Peering down with eyes that see through your soul

Is God the Father, your Judge



Then off to your left across the room

Is the virtual silhouette of sin

Stepping out of the shadows of condemnation

Your worst nightmare walks in



On his face is the smirk of evil incarnate

His mind fixed on your destruction in hell

You've just been introduced to your prosecuting attorney

None other than Satan himself



The Bible says he is the accuser of the brethren

So guess what he is gonna do

He's gonna accuse you of all your sins

And he knows them all

Both the old and the new



He's prepared his case for years

Now the golden moment is his

So in arrogance he presents his case to the Judge

And it comes out sounding something like this



"God you see this worthless piece of trash over here?

The one is a sinner to the core

The one has committed adultery, cursed his neighbor,

Stolen money

Been into drugs, alcohol and even more"



"This hopeless wretch has slandered friends

And by that guilty face this whole courtroom can tell

That to a moral certainly and beyond any reasonable doubt

This one deserves eternal judgment in hell"



The words of accusation still echo

Your every sin thrown up in your face

Then God opens the book where every deed is recorded

And reviews your records of disgrace



God says, "The book says you did this, this and this

And everything you were accused of here today

Now, before I sentence you to hell forever

Are there any last words you have to say?"



Now, if it's true standing there on the courtroom of eternity

With God to your front and Satan the prosecutor to your left

There's one remaining eternal truth, one that's crucial to remember

One you should never, ever, ever forget...



That on the other side of the courtroom

I said, on the other side of the courtroom

You ain't hearing me tonight

I said, on the other side of the courtroom



Is the one and only Son of God

Revealed in time and space

And here's your defense attorney

Who has never lost a case



It's not Buddha, Mohammed or Krishna

Or any others who succumb to death

Ladies and gentlemen on the other side of the courtroom

Is Jesus Christ of Nazareth



Then Jesus jumps up, says," Wait a minute Judge

Now I've got something to say

May I remind you that on a cross 2,000 years ago

I washed his sins away"



"I was crucified, I died, they put me in a tomb

But, long about the midnight hour

The power of God hit ma and I walked of that grave

Alive and well with resurrection power"



Then the devil said, "It's in the book, it's written in the book

Check the book," and God said, "OK"

Then he takes the book out, lays it open and says

"Now, we'll what this book has to say"



He turns to the first page, the second page, the third

By the forth, the devil seems shock

God closes it and says, " The blood of Jesus must have worked

'Cause there absolutely nothing in this book"



The devil says, "Now wait a minute, check the book again

All his sins were written down, there're all right there"

God said, "Devil, maybe you're mistaken all together

Maybe it's this other book down here"



The devil cries, "No! Not that book, not that one"

God said, "Devil why you so uptight?"

God sets the book down, dust flies

And on the corner of it says

The Lamb's Book of Life



Is your name in that book?

Is your name in that book?

Is your name in that book for sure?



If you've been forgiven

And your name is written

Then life your hands, praise the Lord



Yes, my names in that book

Yes, my names in that book

Yes, my names in that book tonight

I've been forgiven

And I know my name is written

In the Lamb's Book of Life

In the Lamb's Book of Life



This court is adjourned
