In their song "Guilty" the Newsboys sing, "If serving You’s against the law of man If living out my faith in you is banned Then I’ll stand right before the jury If saying I believe is out of line If I’m judged cause I’m gonna give my life To show the world the love that … Continue reading Innocent or Guilty
