If tonight you stood in heaven's courtTo seek eternal favorWould you face Jesus Christ as judgeOr face him as your saviorThere are many who don't quite know for sureWhat the verdict would be, if everSo let's imagine for a momentYou are standing dead centerIn the courtroom of foreverSitting before you is a structureMassive and intenseIt's here where your fate will be determinedBefore this judge's benchThen a voice boomsThis court's now in sessionAnd your adrenaline starts to rushPeering down with eyes that see through your soulIs God the Father your judgeThen off to the left across the roomIs the virtual silhouette of sinStepping out of the shadows of condemnationYour worst nightmare walks inOn his face is the smirk of evil incarnateHis mind fixed on your destruction in hellYou've just been introducedTo your prosecuting attorneyNone other than Satan himselfThe bible says he's the accuser of the brethrenSo guess what he's gonna doHe's gonna accuse you of your sinsAnd he knows them allBoth the old ones and the newHe's prepared his case for yearsNow the golden moment is hisSo in arrogance he presents his case to the judgeAnd it comes out sounding something like thisGod, you see this worthless Piece of trash over hereThis one is a sinner to the coreThis one's committed adulteryCursed his neighbors, stolen moneyBeen into drugs, alcohol and even moreThis hopeless wretch has even Slandered his friendsAnd by the guilty face The whole courtroom can tellThat to a moral certaintyAnd beyond any reasonable doubtThis one deserves eternal judgment in hellThe words of accusation still echoYour every sin thrown in your faceThen God opens the book Where every deed is recordedAnd reviews your records of disgraceGod says, The book says you did this, thisAnd this and everything you were accused of todayNow before I sentence you to hell foreverAre there any last words you have to sayNow if it's true, you were standing thereIn the courtroom of eternityWith God to your frontAnd Satan, the persecutor to your leftThere's one remaining eternal truthOne that's crucial to rememberOne you should never, ever, ever forgetThen, on the other side of the courtroom(Doom music)I said, on the other side of the courtroom(Doom music)You ain't hearing me tonight, I saidON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURTROOM(Doom music)Is the one and only Son of GodRevealed in time and spaceAnd he's your defense attorneyWho has never lost a case!It's not Buddha, Muhammad or KrishnaOr any others who succumb to deathLadies and gentlemenOn the other side of the courtroomIs Jesus Christ of NazerethThen Jesus jumps up, saysNow wait a minute judge, I got something to sayMay I remind you that on a cross, 2,000 years agoI washed his sins away, I was crucidied, I diedThey put me in the tombAbout the midnight hour the power of God hit me And I walked out of that graveAlive and well, with resurrection powerThen the devil saysIt's in the bookIt's written in the bookCheck the bookGod said, OkayThen he takes the book out, lays it open and saysNow we'll see what this book has to sayHe turns to the first page, the second, the thirdBy the fourth, the devil seemed shookGod closes it says The blood of Jesus must have worked'Cause there's absolutely nothing in this bookThe devil says Now wait a minute, check that book againAll his sins are written, they're all right thereGod says, DevilMaybe you're mistaken all togetherMaybe it's this other book down hereDevil criesNO!!
