Like mud in the bottom of a cup of solid gold, A stain upon the pure, But a veil to cover the soil From His life I learned perfection, But His death gave even more, It's like a diamond promise, And His love I can't ignore Chorus: No condemnation No separation Our destination Is sanctification To the keen ears of a dog The philosophy is told, And from the crumbs of His table tumble secrets to the prophecies of old It's like handing out the keys To the cells on death row, Now I'm a dead man walking And His cross I'm bound to tow Don't you see what He's done for me? Did you know His grace would go this far? The power to forgive And the strength so you can live, I have become His righteousness
