Accused

In broken dream and shattered hope
I’m braced to face the charge
My back’s against the ropes
Insanity’s still at large
The accuser stands before me
Pointing directly my heart
Saying This man can’t go free
For you know what He will start
The jurors all nod in favor
Of the words that cut my soul
He claims to be our savior
Crucifixion His just console
He’s been spreading lies
To all that He does meet
As yet He still denies
That He has spread deceit
Is there any person here
That will speak on His behalf
Is there anybody near
Not afraid to make us laugh
A solitary lady rose
She spoke out loud and clear
Drop the charge I do propose
And rid yourselves your fear
This prophet’s words are true
Of this you know I’m right
His only sin is love of you
Our redemption His only plight
These few words brought awe
To all that crowded here
And others agreed I saw
They nodded without fear
With joyous heart I know
Although my fate is sealed
Love of God now flows
Its tide will never yield
