For Today dead to rights

Select language to translate this lyric

I stood, with terror flowing through my veins,
Before a judge that could see past the white mask that hid my shame.
With terror flowing through my veins,
All of heaven and earth hid themselves from His face.
And wrath is all I could see, as I looked back over my faded memories.
I sold my soul, and lost my destiny.
I let selfish ambition get the best of me.
Exposed for my arrogance, and justice demands my conviction.
Dead to rights.
He took my place and saved my life.
He had me dead to rights.
He took my place and saved my life.
There was no way out for me.
I had blood on my hands.
Guilty! Guilty!
Blood on my hands.
Guilty! Guilty!
Alone, I turned to hear my advocate saying,
Father, forgive him. My blood is sufficient for him.
Though I had nothing left to give,
It had already been given as perfect provision.
So, gladly, I gave my life
To the only One who could save my life.
Dead to rights.
He took my place and saved my life.
He had me dead to rights.
He took my place and saved my life.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it
