Tauren Wells' song 'Not Guilty' celebrates the believer's freedom from condemnation through the blood of Jesus. The lyrics vividly describe how Christ's sacrifice on the cross covers sin, so that although we deserve judgment, we are declared not guilty. The song emphasizes God's mercy, forgiveness, and the cleansing power of Jesus' blood, drawing on the imagery of a fountain washing away stains. It expresses gratitude for this unearned grace and the love that sets us free. The repeated declaration 'I am not guilty' reinforces the central message of redemption and the believer's secure standing before God.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When I was guilty, caught red handed
Justice demanded pay for my sin
Before the Father, Your blood, my pardon
Cried out from Calvary
Take me, not him
Because Your blood spoke
I am not guilty
'Cause Your blood flows
I am not guilty
'Cause Your blood still holds
I am not guilty
Even though I should be
I am not guilty
There's still a fountain that flows with mercy
It's crimson waters wash every stain
Forgiveness runs in streams of freedom
To all the thirsty that call His name
Because Your blood spoke
I am not guilty
'Cause Your blood flows
I am not guilty
'Cause Your blood still holds
I am not guilty
Even though I should be
I am not guilty
Not 'cause I was innocent
But because You covered me
What a love, Heaven sent
By Your Goodness I am free
Not 'cause I was innocent
But because You covered me
What a love, Heaven sent
Because Your blood spoke
I am not guilty
'Cause Your blood flows
I am not guilty
'Cause Your blood still holds
I am not guilty
Even though I should be
I am not guilty
I am not guilty
Oh, oh, oh
How precious is the flow
That washed me pure as snow
I know I should be
But I'm not guilty
Oh, oh, oh
How precious is the flow
That washed me pure as snow
I know I should be
But I'm not guilty
Oh, oh, oh
How precious is the flow
That washed me pure as snow
I know I should be
But I'm not guilty
Thank you, Jesus
Because Your blood spoke
I am not guilty
'Cause Your blood flows
I am not guilty
'Cause Your blood still holds
I am not guilty
Even though I should be
I am not guilty
