No Condemnation — Lyrics
Intro
The good I would, I do not! Oh God — who, who will deliver me?
Verse 1
Lord, the good I want to do, I do not do it, no; and the evil I would never — somehow that's the way I go. There's a law at work within me dragging down the very best, and I'm tired of my own trying, Lord — there is no rest.
Pre-Chorus
O wretched son that I am — who, who will set me free? From the body of this death, my God… who will deliver me?
Chorus
Thanks be to God — through Jesus Christ, my Lord! There is now NO condemnation for the ones in Him, restored; the Spirit of life in Jesus set me free — not by me, not by me… You alone delivered me! No condemnation — lifted, loved, and free — thanks be to God, my God, who reached and ransomed me!
Verse 2
So when I stumble, when I fall — Lord, I will not stay down, for a righteous man may fall seven times and rise to stand his ground. Though I sit in the dark, my God, You will be my light, and the work that You began in me, You'll finish — You make it right.
Couplet
And if I sin, I have a Friend who pleads before the throne — Jesus Christ the righteous One; I'm never, ever on my own.
Bridge
I can't deliver me — but oh, my God, You can; You broke the law of sin and death, I'm holding to Your hand. So put to death in me what I could never slay, and walk me by Your Spirit, Lord — lead me all the way. Not condemned, not condemned — the verdict has been turned; the cross has paid in full the debt I never could have earned.
Final Chorus
Thanks be to God — through Jesus Christ, my Lord! There is now NO condemnation — sing it, every chord! The Spirit of life in Jesus set me free — not by me, not by me… You alone delivered me! No condemnation — risen, loved, and free — thanks be to God, my God, who reached and ransomed me!
Outro
No condemnation! No condemnation! Risen, loved, and free — no condemnation, none at all!
Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
Little lesson for little hearts
In Romans 7, Paul says out loud what every honest heart knows: "the good that I would I do not… O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me?" (Romans 7:19, 24). It is the war within — wanting to do right and failing, tired of our own trying. But he does not leave us there. In the very next breath comes the best news in the world: "Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 7:25), "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1). We could never keep the law or beat sin ourselves — so Jesus did it for us, and "blotted out… the handwriting of ordinances that was against us… nailing it to his cross" (Colossians 2:14). When we belong to Him, the verdict is already turned: not guilty, not condemned, loved and free. And even when we stumble, "a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again" (Proverbs 24:16), and we have a Friend who pleads for us before the throne (1 John 2:1). So we stop trusting ourselves and start walking by His Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 25) — not by me, but by Him who reached down and ransomed me.
