Video Playlist: New Songs

This is a song I wrote back in 2000 that is featured on both my "Unplugged" and "Don't Look Back" CDs. The song speaks of how our guilty consciences can sometimes "point bony fingers" at us in accusation of things we've done. But thankfully the blood of Jesus has washed away our sins and his grace has made us free of any condemnation. Based on the scripture passage of Romans 8:1 the song sings of how "Therefore there is now no more condemnation" for those who have accepted the free gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. We are forgiven and free!

Skeletons In My Closet (#141)

01/10/2000

Well I’ve got skeletons in my closet
Pointing bony fingers at my back
Accusations they run rampant
Sending chills up my spine and neck

They say I am guilty
For the things that I have done to you
I just wish they’d hurry
Up and leave before I go and do

Something foolish like
Like go and throw myself into the sea
Cuz maybe then from this millstone hanging round my neck
I’d finally be free, but you say

Therefore there is now no more
No more condemnation

Well those skeletons in my closet
Seemed to vanish like the morning dew
When the light of the new day sun
Broke the darkness, shattered it in two

For I have been forgiven
Of all the wrongs that I have done to you
By the shed blood of the one
Whose skeleton they will never find or disprove

For you took and threw those memories
Threw them into the deepest sea
And they sunk beneath the waves just like a millstone
Leaving me lighter and free, and now I can say

For those who are in Christ Jesus
For those who know the Lord
