VERSE 1
I was guilty (guilty)
Of all the charges (charges)
Doomed and disgraced
But Jesus (Jesus)
With His special love (special love)
Saved me by His grace
He pleaded (pleaded)
And He pleaded (pleaded)
He pleaded my case
I’m so glad that
Jesus dropped the charges
Jesus dropped the charges (now I’m saved)
Now I’m saved through grace and faith
VERSE 2
I was guilty (guilty)
For so long (so long)
Lived in sin too long
But Jesus (Jesus)
With his special love (special love)
Reached out with His arms so strong
He picked me up (picked me up)
Turned me around (turned me around)
Gave me a brand-new song
Jesus dropped the charges
Jesus dropped the charges
Now to Him I belong
VERSE 3
You may remember (remember)
And remember (remember)
Some of the things I’ve done
But Jesus (Jesus)
With His special love (special love)
Forgave me from everyone
He put me (put me)
On the right road (right road)
Lifted my heavy load
Jesus dropped the charges
Jesus dropped the charges
Now I’m free down in my soul
CHORUS
He dropped the charges, Jesus dropped the charges
Although I was wrong,
He dropped the charges, Jesus dropped the charges
Showed me right from wrong,
He dropped the charges, Jesus dropped the charges
Cast them all away
BRIDGE
At Calvary
At Calvary, I heard Him say
At Calvary, I heard Him say
At Calvary, I heard Him say
“Case dismissed, case dismissed
Saved by grace”
