Mandate of Judgment and Mercy of Jesus


"Justice and judgment are the habitation of Thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before Thy face.  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound… In Thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in Thy righteousness shall they be exalted" (Psalm 89:14-16).  "The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe" (Proverbs 18:10).  "I saw another angel… having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people " (Revelation 14:6). 

The justice of God's holy throne,
Where judgment's standard has been set,
Was satisfied by Christ alone
Where heaven's truth and mercy met. 

How blest are they who know the sound
Of joy that celebrates salvation
In Jesus Christ that we have found,
Which we declare to every nation!   

The name of Christ is our strong tower
Where judgment has been satisfied.  
We've fled to Him for saving power,
Who loved us first and for us died. 

The mandate of Your judgment's wrath,
Lord Jesus, sent You to the cross
Where truth and mercy forged the path
Whereby You purged our sins as dross.
