Verse 1
I was guilty (guilty)

with His special love (special love)
saved me by His grace;
He pleaded (pleaded)
and He pleaded (pleaded)
He pleaded my case.

Jesus dropped the charges,
Jesus dropped the charges,
now I'm saved through grace and faith.

Verse 2
I was guilty (guilty)
for so long (so long)

but Jesus (Jesus)
with His special love (special love)
reached out with His arms so strong;
He put me (put me),
on the right road (right road)
lifted my heavy load.

Jesus dropped the charges,
Now I’m free down in my soul.

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,
and cast them all away;

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”----------

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 of every wrong;
He picked me up (picked me up)
turned me around (turned me around)
gave me a brand new song.

Chorus 3
Jesus dropped the charges,
Jesus dropped the charges,
now to Him I belong.
