Justified Lyrics - Live - Smokie Norful

I was preaching a sermon one Sunday and uh 

It was about, it was a parable 

And it was talking about the uh, the disciples and Jesus 

When they were going through a corn field 

And they began to pick the corn 

And the Pharisees, the legalistics of the day, they came 

And they were chastising them that 

'Why are you doing this on the Sabbath?' 

They had this whole discourse and dialog between the two of them 

Jesus was saying, 'Listen, do you, do you not remember that you 

You, yourself aren't even worthy 

You guys break unleavened bread on, on the Sabbath 

And you kill the sacrifice, you clean the sacrifice' 

They have a need and it's my job and my responsibility 

To meet their need and I'm at their need 

I trump the synagogue, I trump the Sabbath 

I'm Lord of your life, I'm Lord of everything that is you 

I'm Lord of this, this day, recognize who you're talking to 

But in the course of the whole thing what I realize is that 

The dialog was between the Pharisees or the religious leaders of the day 

Was between the dignitaries, the officials of the Church and Jesus 

The disciples never uttered a word 

He literally started embodying his permanent position in our lives 

Because he stepped in between the law and the people 

He says, 'No, I'm Grace and because of Me 

They don't have to defend themselves to you' 

'I'll do all the talking, My blood will speak through all of eternity 

I have justified them, even in their wrong, I know that they are wrong 

I know that they make mistakes, I know that they are not perfect 

I know that they do things that are not pleasing' 

'But even in their wrong, My blood will speak on their behalf 

And I will just', somebody should have shouted right there 

Because He didn't kill you for all the sinful acts that you committed 

But he justified you 

God bless me with this song, it simply speaks the life of that message 

And I'm just excited to be able to share it with you 

Hey, justified me, glorified me 

Paid my ransom and I've been redeemed by his blood 

Go to Calvary, I've been made free 

Despite my enemy, I thank God, I'm justified 

Paid a price for my life 

And all that was wrong, His love made it right 

Now what greater sign can any man show? 

That know with his own blood He made me whole 

He justified me, glorified me 

Paid my ransom and I've been redeemed by his blood 

Go to calvary, I've been made free 

Despite my enemy, I thank God, I'm justified 

If my sins had their way I never would have made it 

With a debt I just couldn't afford to pay, He came and saved me 

When the enemy said that I couldn't, God said go ahead 

Because you're covered by me awesome, awesome powerful blood 

Though I, I should've been dead and never kept alive 

God's grace and his mercy were on every side 

When it looks like I can't, God says I can 

And he won't let me fall in the enemy's hand 

Oh, I'm just glad to know that God saved me 

His grace and his mercy 

They watched over me all night long 

If it had not been, if it had not been 

If it had not been, if it had not been 

If it had not been for the lord that was on my side 

Hey, listen I got some testimonies listen 

Just like Nineveh that was headed for destruction 

God stepped in and he said 

(Not guilt) 

You gonna live and you won't see the day of destruction 

(Oh oh oh) 

Just like Daniel who was condemned to the lion's den, God said 

(Not guilt) 

You're gonna live 

(You're gonna live, yeah) 

Just like David who was dearly beloved inspite of God said 

(Not guilt) 

Yeah 

Hey 

(Let's talk about you) 

If you be honest with yourself tonight 

If it hadn't been for the grace of God 

You would've been, you could've been 

Yeah, listen, hey 

To the liar 

(Not guilt) 

To the cheater 

(Not guilt) 

To the deceiver 

(Not guilt) 

Even to the believer 

(Not guilt) 

There is their point no condemnation to them 

(Not guilt) 

That are in Christ Jesus 

(Not guilt) 

Yeah, yeah 

(Not guilt) 

Hey 

Some of y'all got it twisted, listen 

(Not guilt) 

If it hadn't been for God 

(God did it) 

You wouldn't have made it 

Hey, don't get confused about who kept you 

Hey 

(God did it) 

When the enemy said that I couldn't, God did it 

(God did it) 

When my haters said that I wouldn't, God did it 

(God did it) 

Hey, I thought we'd never get out of the poor house but 

(God did it) 

I thought we'd never see the White House but I'm claiming it 

(God did it) 

Hey and if you be honest He's been over your house 

(God did it) 

Every grateful heart just bless his name 

(God did it) 

Who delivered you? 

(God did it) 

Be honest about it, who kept you? Yeah 

(God did it) 

Come on and testify who brought you, hey 

(God did it) 

Hey, just shout God did it 

(God did it) 

Point to heaven and give him glory, God did it 

(God did it) 

Come on and testify, hey 

(God did it) 

One more time if your praise is ringing say God did it 

(God did it) 

Hey yeah, yeah, hey 

(God did it) 

Every time I turn around, it's but God 

But God, but God, but God 

They said I wouldn't but God 

They said I couldn't but God 

They say I should've been dead but God 

They say I should've been sick but God 

They said I should've have never made it but God, yeah 

Come on and just shout God did it 

(God did it) 

God did it 

(God did it) 

God did it 

(God did it) 

God did it 

(God did it) 

Don't believe yourself 

(God did it) 

Like your grateful self 

(God did it) 

Yeah, everybody say 

(God did it)
