Newsboys - Guilty Lyrics






When did it become breaking a rule
To say your name out loud in school
When your name's the only one that sets us free?
When did it become incorrect
To speak the truth about life and death
When your life gave us all eternity?

Even if it gets me convicted
I'll be on my knees with my hands lifted

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 fills me
Then I wanna be guilty

I'll rise up and honor you
I'll testify to the good you do
'Cause your grace and your mercy have overtaken me

So even if it gets me convicted
I'll be on my knees with my hands lifted

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 fills me

Then I wanna be guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming
Your ways, your truth, your life
I'll pay the price to be your light

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 fills me

Then I wanna be guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming
Your ways, your truth, your life
I'll pay the price to be your light

Oh, I wanna be guilty

Newsboys Guilty Comments
  1. L.... V....

    I am a Christ, my friend bought me a Bible on my birthday later I was crying about this present.
    It hurts when what ever you done they judge, that you ever pray to God.
    ( I am from German... my english is not so great!😂

  2. M.... M....

    2020, I'll be on my knees with my hands lifted.

  3. M.... H....

    My top 3 are "that's how you change the world", "guilty", and " we believe".😀😀😀

  4. E.... C....

    Deus é bom o tempo todo, e o tempo todo Deus é bom .

  5. S.... M....

    Quem e do brasil da like!!

  6. S.... M....

    Amo newboys!!

  7. S.... M....

  9. J.... H....

    Soy un fam tuyo

  10. l.... o....

    I will run my best in the race of faith. I will keep what has been entrusted to my care. I will keep alive the gift that has been given to me by GOd. Am happy in my part suffering for the good news .I was chosen for this purpose thru the grace of Christ Jesus. Am sure am empowered. John 15:16.i hope that is the prayer of every Christian. Newsboys let's meet in Uganda 🎶. Happy festive season 🚹🎠🎁🎄🌌💞 for all God bless

  11. y.... t....

    if you thinck god exist he will give you a second life with him

  12. y.... t....

    if you get introuble tell the teachers to read and see what the holly bible soy

  13. T.... C....

    If being guilty is to be involved with God, may I be innocent instead.

  14. l.... c....

    Que lindo como alaban a Dios!!

  15. D.... E....

    Esse hino eu acho ele um dos mais bonitos e tocantes!...assina Claudielly

  16. K.... G....

    This song accurately describes my opinion on this subject, I'm not going to pretend to be perfect, I make many mistakes, but I just want to worship my God in peace, I'm not forcing it on anyone, I'm not making anyone watch me pray. At what point did humanity reach such fragility where merely saying the name of something that someone doesn't even believe exists brings outrage?

  17. T.... T....

    And sin is getting worse in the world every day.

  18. V.... J....

    Honestly, I've been struggling. This song will never fail to amaze me. God is truth! No matter how many people disagree with this, comment on this, etc should not deny it. Think of this: There are so many things beyond the understanding of humans, why? Because God made them and God is above humans and our comprehension. #TeamGod

  19. J.... N....

    I beileve i'm not guilty for 2019-2020 for the rest of my life God turned my life around gave me a life and born again Amen

  20. g.... p....

  21. K.... T....

    I love newsboys ...
    It help me when i am sad ......
    I want to say to the newsboys thanks...

  22. F.... ....

    Something to think about: If you were put on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to condemn you?

  23. M.... A....

    God's not dead

  24. F.... S....

    Newsboys = Good News!

  25. S.... A....

    ✋God is good ✋

  26. D.... E....

    may God continue to bless you all ... and may you continue to be blessed ... I like the band, and all the hymns ...
    ass: Claudielly

  27. C.... S....

    so true I will stand right before the jury!!!

  28. i.... K....

    In a world where people laughs .. don't be afraid to say I'm a child of God . Blessed 💜💜

  29. n.... 8....

    This is very amazing

  30. E.... C....

    At my school people don’t understand what my faith means to me and how I live by it. In other words they tease and make fun me and say I waste my Sunday’s. I try to ignore them and I pray for them but it’s hard when they are constantly fighting back with rude “jokes”. I just wish people could understand what my faith and God means to me.

  31. S.... G....

    Two boys at my school once made fun of me because I said I believe in God. There's also another boy who always rolls his eyes at me whenever I mention God. It's sad that they don't understand God's love. "It's easy to refuse something you don't understand. Or you don't want to understand."

  32. E.... D....

    I don’t understand why we can talk about evolution when but it makes the teachers so uncomfortable that we can’t talk about God. It makes them uncomfortable because they know it’s the truth amen lord I hope it changes. And instead of talking about God we talk about gays and Being transgender but that’s ok. I just need to give it to God.

    E.... D....

    Eva Downey well I mean evolution has so much evidence backed against it to the point it’s a fact, you can talk about god but you can’t say it’s face because there simply isn’t enough evidence. There’s nothing wrong with being gay and transgender either. Honestly if there weren’t religion than maybe people would be more accepting of other people. :/ your place of mind is really harmful and not true.

  33. p.... M....

    could i ask a question?

  34. L.... S....

    You know I wish I could have faith in a God, but I don't believe any God would consciously create this world where people struggle like we do, and do all the wrong things we do. At the same time I know there's no hope for me without a God, so like I said I wish I could have faith in a God. Sad world imo, and I haven't even had a drop in the ocean of bad compared to some people, so I can't see how a conscious God could exist, and create this world.

  35. A.... ....

    this hits so deep

  36. T.... E....

    When you get done masturbating and feel guilty and start crying

    T.... E....

    Trixie Exe there’s nothing wrong with masturbation! It’s a healthy and natural thing every person goes through. You don’t have to be ashamed because you think you’re impure because you aren’t!

  37. B.... M....

    thank GOD we v president Trump fighting 4 freedom of worship again in America.am Ben 4rm Uganda 3rd world country.

  38. S.... H....

    I get bullied in school for believing in God but you know what SAY HIS NAME LOUDER BECAUSE ID WRATHER BE GUILTY who cares about what other people thinks, this song inspires me, I'll stand right before the jury, I don't care what people thinks or if it's against the law to say his name, ILL SAY IT LOUDER WITH ALL MY HEART I wanna be guilty!!! ❤️

  39. A.... S....

    Z.... S....

    Zorin Sanga :) keep doing you and don’t let other people tear ya down - loving fellow gay atheist

  41. S.... ....

    Terrible persecution is going to come against Christians as soon as Democrats get back the white house. You better be ready for that because it's coming and you better be ready for the rapture

    S.... ....

    Shafawn ummm? No the only thing that’s gonna be done is taking the RELGIOUS laws out of America because it was built on SECULAR views. Also when’s the rapture coming because people keep predicting it but it never comes smh :/

  42. p.... 1....

    O única Rei deste Mundo e do Universo Jesus o Cristo Verdadeiro filho do Criador quem Crer nele além de Morto Viverá.

  43. k.... l....

    depression is killing many people out there..remember everyone suffering from depression in prayers so that Jesus can change their lives. Amen.

    people around the world let me open your eyes especially Christians. you are not being oppressed just because you worship god its because people are just asholes and they will pick on people who are to them weak. they are called bullies. dont blame your religion for being oppressed. everyone gets shit in this world. even athiest are bullied by alot of people. just google athiest cringe. overall do what you want in life dont let anyone step on you or your beliefs and whenever people around you fuck things up dont blame anyone but them or yourself.

    F.... B....
