Justified is an American television drama series created by Graham Yost. It is based on Elmore Leonard's novels Pronto and Riding the Rap and his short story "Fire in the Hole". Its main character is Raylan Givens, a deputy U.S. Marshal. The series is set in the city of Lexington, Kentucky, and the hill country of eastern Kentucky, specifically in and around Harlan.Timothy Olyphant portrays Givens, a tough federal lawman, enforcing his own brand of (at times extralegal) justice in his Kentucky hometown.
Justified premiered on March 16, 2010, on the FX network. In Canada, Justified airs on Super Channel. The show was renewed for a second season, which premiered on February 9, 2011. A third season of 13 episodes was announced on March 29, 2011, and premiered January 17, 2012. A fourth season of 13 episodes was announced on March 6, 2012.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is something of a 19th century-style officer in modern times, whose unconventional enforcement of justice makes him a target with criminals and a problem for his superiors in the U.S. Marshals Service. As a result of a controversial but "justified" shooting of a mob hit-man in Miami, Givens is reassigned from Florida to Lexington, Kentucky, a district that includes Harlan County, a rural mining area in the east of the state, where Raylan was born and raised.
[Chorus]
Justified me
Glorified me
Paid my ransom and
I've been redeemed by his blood
Go to calvary
I've been made free
Despite my enemy
I thank god im justified
[Verse 1]
Paid a price
For my life
And all that was wrong
His love made it right
Now what greater sign
Can any man show
That know with his own blood
He made me whole
[Chorus]
Justified me
Glorified me
Paid my ransom and
I've been redeemed by his blood
Go to calvary
Ive been made free
Despite my enemy
I thank god im justified
[Verse 2]
If my sins had their way
I never would have made it
With a debt i just couldn't afford to pay
He came and saved me
When the enemy said that i couldn't
God said go ahead because you're covered by me awesome
Awesome powerful blood
[Brigde]
Though I
I should've been dead
And never kept alive
God's grace and his mercy
Were on every side
When it looks like i can't
God says i can
And he won't let me fall
In the enemy's hand
[SMOKIE]
I'm just glad to know that god saved me
His grace and his mercy
They watched over me all night long
If it had not been
If it had not been
If it had not been
If it had not been
If it had not been
For the lord that was on my side
Listen i got some testimonies listen
Just like ninevah that was headed for destruction god stepped in and he said
(not guilt)
You gonna live and you won't see the day of destruction
(ooh ooh ooh)
Just like daniel who was condemned to the lion's den god said
(not guilt)
You're gonna live
(you're gonna live yeah)
Just like david who was dearly beloved inspite of god said
(not guilt)
Yeah
(let's talk about you)
If you be honest with yourself tonight
If it hadn't been for the grace of god
You would've been
You could've been
Yeah
Listen
To the Liar
To the Cheater
To the Deciever
Even to the Believer
There is their point no condemnation to them that are in christ jesus
Yeah yeah
Some of ya'll got it twisted
Listen
If it hadn't been for god
(god did it)
You wouldn't have made it
Don't get confused about who kept you
(god did it)
When the enemy said that i couldn't
god did it
(god did it)
When my haters said that i wouldn't
god did it
(god did it)
I thought we'd never get out of the poor house but
(god did it)
I thought we'd never see the white house but im claiming it
(god did it)
And if you be honest
He's been over your house
(god did it)
Every grateful heart just bless his name
(god did it)
Who delivered you
(god did it)
Be honest about it
Who kept you
yeah
(god did it)
Come on and testify who brought you
(god did it)
Just shout god did it
(god did it)
Point to heaven and give him glory
god did it
(god did it)
Come on and testify
(god did it)
One more time
if your praise is ringing say
god did it
(god did it)
hey yeah yeah
(God did it)
