[Intro]

[Verse 1]
 EmStanding in the courtroom, when I Dheard, how do you plead?
 The Emaccuser of the brethren, Dwas staring at me
 EmHe said, we got your number, Dthere is no escape
 EmFor here are your transgressions, your Bm11failures and mBistakes
 He Cadd9pointed to the corner, where the Emscales of justice stood
 AmI saw so many failures there, Emthere was nothing good
 Cadd9And in that very moment, when it Emseemed all hope was lost
 I said, I Cadd9plead the blood of Jesus, and His Ddeath upon the cross
[Chorus]
 One drop of Gblood, Dsus4fell to the Dscales
 It Amcovered my tranAm/Gsgressions, and Dall the times I failed
 The Genemy was mighty, he Cmajcame in like a flood
 GHe was defeated by Dsus4one   Ddrop of EmbloodD  Cmaj  D  
[Verse 2]
 EmI stood and watched in silence, Das others were brought in
 EmI saw them start to tremble, when they Dturned and faced their sin
 EmThey offered no excuses, Dthey offered no alibis
 EmThe truth was overwhelming, and it Bm11would not be dBenied
 Cadd9Their righteousness like filthy rags, and Emnothing they could say
 AmThey bowed their heads in silenceBm11,     Emas they were led away
 But Cadd9for the true believers, each Emtime it was the same
 His Cadd9glory shown around them, as they Dsus4called upon his Dname
[Chorus]
 One drop of Gblood, Dsus4fell to the Dscales
 It Amcovered their tranAm/Gsgressions, and Dall the times they failed
 The Genemy was mighty, he Cmajcame in like a flood
 GHe was defeated by Dsus4one   Ddrop of Gblood
