In the court above the dust of earth, one righteous man

was named before the throne.

Accused ain't guilty, tested ain't forsaken. Heaven heard the charge,

but heaven wasn't shaken. Accused ain't guilty, tried but not abandoned.

The finally touched the field But God still holds the standard

No, no, the throne still stands No, no,

name is in his hands There came a day before the

Lord When sons of heaven stood And from the shadow came

a voice To question what was good Have you not hedged

him all around And blessed his house with gain But stretch

your hand upon his life And he will curse your name

But the judge of all the earth Was not moved by

the lie The accuser brought his case But he could not

decide Accused ain't guilty Tested ain't forsaken Heaven heard the

charge But heaven wasn't shaken Accused ain't guilty Tried but not

abandoned The fire may touch the field But God still holds

the standard No, no The throne still stands No, no,

his name is in his hands The oxen fell, the

servants cried The fire came down like rain The wind rose

up against the house and grief called out his name he

tore his robe and bowed down low

with ashes on his head the lord gave and the lord

has taken blessed be the lord he said the earth can

lose its song The night can steal the breath But worship

in the ashes Is a witness over death Accused ain't guilty

Tested ain't forsaken Heaven heard the charge But heaven wasn't shaken

Accused ain't guilty Tried but not abandoned The fire may touch

the field But God still holds the standard No, no The

throne still stands No, no His name is in His

hands No, no, no, the lie won't reign No, no, no,

the Lord knows His name No, no, no, the Lord knows

His name Though the skin may break Though the friends may

blame Though the night ask why And the mouth takes flame

Though the silence sits like a stone on the chest The

Lord sees the trial, the Lord knows the test Not every

wound is judgment Not every loss is shame Not every voice

that names you Has the right to seal your name

Who can condemn when the Lord has seen? Who can accuse

what God calls clean? Who holds the dust? Who marks the

breath? Who speaks from the whirlwind over life and death?

Accused ain't guilty, tested ain't forsaken Heaven heard the charge, but

heaven wasn't shaken Accused ain't guilty, tried but not abandoned The

fire may touch the field, but God still holds the standard

Broken ain't forgotten, the grave may hear the rumor But the

throne has not forgotten No, no,

no The throne still stands No, no His name is in

His hands No, no, no The lie won't reign No,

no, no The Lord knows His name The Lord knows his

name Accused ain't guilty Tested ain't forsaken Heaven heard the charge

But heaven wasn't shaken
