Innocent Man

Innocent Man


Verse 1

He said that’d been the last straw
and couldn’t go on anymore.
I’ve been accused of things before
and it seems no matter what I say
they’re gonna do it anyway.

Ref.

...so I raise my hands
to heaven’s holy land
and speak to Jesus
who also died an innocent man

Verse 2

He said that his folks taught him well
about heaven and hell
and that Jesus rose again
so that all could live in Him.

Ref.

Verse 3

His words were found on the wall
at the end of the hall.
As the porter washed the words away
the young man had his final say.

Oh Lord, take my hands.
Lead me to the promised land
where I will be with Jesus
who also died an innocent man.
