Justified, You Have Not Done It In The First Place Lyrics
Verse 1
I was sitting alone and wondering
About what Im supposed to do
I cant deny the times I have made mistakes
I cant hide from Him, He knew
But I knew that deep within my soul
I felt sorry, honest I did
So I just cried and said
forgive me Lord, forgive me again will you?
CHORUS
Justified, justified
You have not done it in the first place
Youre justified, justified, justified
You have not done it in the first place
Youre justified
Verse 2
So often am discouraged
When I count the times I fall
cause He promised Id be victorious
When I know Im not at all
Then I heard an eagle scream
Its voice quickened my soul
He said youve not done it in the first place
You are justified
CHORUS
Justified, justified
You have not done it in the first place
Youre justified, justified, justified
You have not done it in the first place
Youre justified
Verse 3
He looked at your perfect picture
Without blame spot or wrinkle,
He didnt look at you where you are now
He looked back from eternity
He said youre just trapped in that body
You by-passed your theophany
You have not done it in the first place,
Youre justified
CHORUS
Justified, justified
You have not done it in the first place
Youre justified, justified, justified
You have not done it in the first place
Youre justified
Notes
This hymn carries a powerful message of redemption, grace, and justification through Christ. It speaks to the heart of a Christian who struggles with past mistakes, sins, and failures but finds hope in the truth of justification. The song acknowledges human weakness and the feeling of unworthiness when one falls short of God’s standard. However, the chorus reassures believers that, through Christ, they are justified—as if they had never sinned in the first place.
The phrase “You have not done it in the first place” reflects the biblical doctrine of justification, where God sees His children through the righteousness of Christ, not their past failures. This hymn reminds Christians that God’s mercy erases their sins when they sincerely repent. The imagery of an “eagle scream” represents a divine awakening to this truth, bringing renewed faith and confidence in God’s promise. Ultimately, the hymn encourages believers to trust in God’s grace and live victoriously.
