Remember the phrase 'If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?' That's what this song is about.

Story behind the song
Most of my song come by challenge. I find a passage of scripture and it challenges me so I want to write a song that captures the message. Read Romans 8:38 and following.
Lyrics
©1980 Lillenas Publishing I was sittin' in a dingy court room Just waitin' for my time to come There where bitter looks of vengence On the face of everyone When the trial was finally over and everybody had testified Well the judge looked at me and said stand up please And this was his reply; I find you guilty Oh it's written all over your face, Guilty of being a Christian And preachin' in a public place, Tellin' everyone about Jesus, Well you even have the nerve to pray, I find you guilty of bein' a Christian and livin' in a Christ like way... Well I jumped up and started shoutin' I just couldn't contain myself, Sweet songs about the love of Jesus kept comin' out of my month And the judge instead of being angry Just looked at me amazed, I guess he never saw what he called an outlaw, Shoutin' God be praised... I find you guilty.... Well I awake in a cold sweat, seems the trial was only a dream But I wondered if maybe the things I was seeing was Some sort of prophecy... O I pray by the grace of the Father, if I were ever taken prisner that way, That because of the love it the Savior within me My judge would look at me and say... I find you guilty.....
