Lyrics to Mercy-walked-in

I stood in the courtroom, the judge turned my way -
It looks like you're guilty now what do you say?
I spoke up, Your Honor, I have no defense;
But that's when mercy walked in.

Refrain:
Mercy walked in and pleaded my case,
Called to the stand God's saving grace.
The blood was presented that covered my sin,
Forgiven when mercy walked in.

I stood there and wondered how could this be,
That someone so guilty had just been set free.
My chains were broken I felt born again,
the moment that mercy walked in.

The blood was presented that covered my sin,
Forgiven when mercy walked in.
