I couldn't figure out one of the words at all but hope I got the rest right ...
I was walking down the Avenue one bright and sunny day
When the police came and got me and they carried me away
They took me in and ____ me as a Christian through and through
When the Judge looked down at me, he said this can't be true
Chorus:
You've been charged with being Christian but we can not so convict
There's not enough hard evidence to make the charges stick
Though they say you've been a true believer, no proof do I see
You've been charged with being Christian but we'll have to set you free
There's no record of you praying when you lay you down to bed
You don't go to Church on Sunday, that old Magistrater said
And you break the Ten Commandments, disregard the Golden Rule
I've seen my share of Christians but not a single one like you
Chorus:
Well I woke up from my dream, perspiration on my face
I saw it all most clearly as the words upon the slate
And I pledged my life to Jesus, the remainder of my years
With the words I heard in my dreams still ringing in my ears
Chorus:
Here is the Youtube I transcribed it from
