If tonight you stood in heavens court to seek eternal favor... Would you face Jesus Christ as Judge or would you face Him as your Saviour? There are many who dont quite know for sure what that verdict would be, if ever... So lets imagine for a moment youre standing dead center... In the Courtroom of Forever... Sitting before you is a structure massive and intense Its here where your fate will be determined before this Judges bench... Then a voice booms This Courts now in session. And your adrenaline starts to rush Peering down with eyes that see through your soul.. Is God the Father, your Judge Then off to your left across the room... Is the virtual sillouette of sin Stepping out of the shadows of condemnation, your worst nightmare walks in On his face is the smirk of evil incarnate, his mind fixed on your destruction in Hell Youve just been introduced to you prosecuting attorney, none other than Satan himself The Bible says hes the accuser of the brethren, so guess what hes gonna do Hes gonna accuse you of your sins and he knows them all...Both the old ones and the new Hes prepared his case for years, now the golden moment is his So in arrogance he presents his case to the Judge and it comes out sounding something like this... God, you see this worthless piece of trash over here! This one is a sinner to the core! This ones commited adultery Cursed his neighbors, stolen money, been into drugs, alchohol And even more! This hopeless wretch has even slandered friends! And by the guilty face, this courtroom can tell that through immoral Incertainty beyond any reasonable doubt, this one deserves eternal Judgement in Hell! The words of accusation still echo, your every sin thrown up in your face... Then God opens the book where every deed is recorded and reviews your record of disgrace God says The book says you did this, this, and this and everything You were accused of today. Now before I sentence you to Hell forever, are there any last words you have to say? ...Now if its true you were standing there In the Courtroom of Eternity With God to your front, and Satanthe prosecuterto your left Theres one remaining eternal truth one thats crucial to remember... One you should never, ever, ever forget... Then, on the other side of the Courtroom... doom music I said, on the other side of the Courtroom... doom music You aint hearing me tonight I said, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURTROOM! doom music ...Is the one and only Son of God, revealed in time and space And hes your defense attorney who has never lost a case! Its not Buddha, Muhammad or Krishna or any others who succumb to death! Ladies and gentlemen, on the other side of The Courtroom, is Jesus Christ of Nazereth! Then Jesus jumps up, says Now what a minute God! I got something to say! May I remind you That on a cross 2000 years ago, I washed his sins away! I was Crucified, I died, they put me in a tomb, but long about the midnight Hour, the power of God hit me and I walked out of that grave, alive And well with ressurection power! Then the devil says Its in the book! Its written in the book! Check the book! God said Okay. Then He takes the book out, lays it open and says Now well see what this book has to say. He turns to the first page... The second page... The third... By the fourth, the devil seemed shook... God closes it, says The blood of Jesus must of worked...Because theres absolutely Nothing in this book. The devil says Now what a minute, check that book again! All his sins are written Down, theyre all right there! God says Devil, maybe youre mistaken all together. Maybe its this other book Down here... Devil cries NO!! Not that book! Not that one! God said Devil, why you so uptight? God sets the book down... The dust flies... And on the cover it says The Lambs Book of Life! singing Is your name in that book? Is your name in that book? Is your name in that book for sure? If youve been forgiven... And your name is written... Then lift your handspraise the Lord Yes, my names in that book... My name is in that book... My name is in that book tonight... Ive been forgiven... And I know my name is written... In the Lambs Book of Life... three blows of the mallet This court is ajourned... fade out
