innocence i claim
in the times of hurt and strife
please defend me, Lord
when i stumble in the fight
i have trusted Thee always
doubt has never came to fear
test and try my heart and mind
i know that You are near
my eyes recognize Your love
Your Truth reigns in my life
my time is not spent with liars
for they hide their sin in night
i do not like the company
of evil men who deceive
my place is not with them
i now wash my hands clean
to prove i am innocent
i come fall to Your alter
in praise my voice stretches high
Your miracles have not faltered
my love is for You in Your temple
where Your glory resides
do not kill me with the murderers
who carry evil in their eyes
their hands are full of greed
they do wrong for selfish gain
i am innocent my King
i have come to praise Your name
i stand alone in a safe place
Your peace surrounds me here
this meeting of peoples
i cry innocent tears
