Mercy Love and Justice
He fell from grace from heaven's gates for evils he had done
This once the mighty angel who stood next to Christ the Son
Who bore the light of Godliness to others that he knew
As Lucifer the light-bearer in all he'd say and do
But mystery of mysteries from where we do not know
The seed of self-exalting pride within his soul did grow
And he who once was righteous as a righteous one might be
Became the source of evil through his own iniquity
As from one to another he would sow dark seeds of doubt
Not thinking God could even know or Christ would find him out
But he'd forgotten God is God and all things He can see
And though He's patient beyond words He's not what we might be
For He can see the future as if it were here today
He feels the pain of evil things He knows we'll do and say
He also knows our thinking as if our thoughts were His own
And knows the consequences of the seed we've not yet sown
But though He knows and sees us from beginning to our end
And knows that on His grace alone creation does depend
He also knows the secret love must help us understand
The secret of His Mercy that refines His Law's demand
For some see Law and Justice in the way the devil does
As heartless and restrictive as for years he's said God was
And through their soul's rebellion and his darkness they can't see
The Price that Love did freely pay through Christ on Calvary
Prefigured by the sacrifice for years to show the way
God would through love provide His Son our right for life to pay
That always was prefigured in the temple of the Lord
By elements of ministry for which God was adored
Because when God did make him whom He loved just like a son
He knew in his perfection selfish pride could make him one
To turn His realm against Him but true love can only be
True to it's very roots as long as creatures can be free
To choose to purely follow in the light of Godly love
Or in the path of darkness that the devil tells us of
But soon we'll see the finish of the work and will of God
When mercy love and justice clear the path that Christ will trod
1 John 4
