Lyrics

All the darkness deep within
My rebellion and my sin
I can't hide it
Every selfish choice I've made
All my failures and mistakes
There's no denying
Is there something I can say
To take the guilt away
Is there something I can do
To make it right with You

I'm guilty, defenseless
There's no excuse, no alibi, no one to blame for my crimes
I'm guilty, convicted
Though I try, I know I'll never get this blood off my hands
I am guilty (I can't escape this)
I am guilty (I need forgiveness)
But I'm calling on the One
Who takes my sin away
And who covers all my shame
To take my guilt away

All the good deeds I have done
Every trophy I have won
It won't save me
Even in my finest hour
I'm still lost without Your power
But You can remake me
So I'll stop this game I've played
And fall upon Your grace
I'll never be good enough
It's only by Your blood

I'm guilty, defenseless
There's no excuse, no alibi, no one to blame for my crimes
I'm guilty, convicted
Though I try, I know I'll never get this blood off my hands
I am guilty (I can't escape this)
I am guilty (I need forgiveness)
But I'm calling on the One
Who takes my sin away
And who covers all my shame
To take my guilt away

I know that I am guilty
Nothing I've done will save me
All of my righteous acts
They're nothing but filthy rags
Strip away every pretense
I have no other defense
Only by grace can I stand
Only by the blood of the Lamb

I'm guilty, defenseless
There's no excuse, no alibi, no one to blame for my crimes
I'm guilty, convicted
Though I try, I know I'll never get this blood off my hands
I am guilty (I can't escape this)
I am guilty (I need forgiveness)
But I'm calling on the One
Who takes my sin away
And who covers all my shame
To take my guilt away
