Judging Redemption
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Righteousness stands far away,
While justice is turned back;
As people have gone astray,
From the truth that they do lack.
Uprightness cannot enter,
Stumbling in the public squares;
No one is a repenter,
Of the truth that someone shares.
Who does depart from evil,
Is making himself the prey;
The vulture is the devil,
Encircles those who obey.
The Lord is displeased to see,
They were not showing justice;
While acting fancy-free,
For their immoral practice.
He saw that there was no man,
And no one to intercede;
No concern about God’s plan,
For salvation to succeed.
The Helmet of Salvation,
Wear with the righteous breastplate;
Gives your zeal a foundation,
Be making your morals great.
He will repay per their deeds,
Repayment made through His wrath;
Because His vengeance succeeds,
Through destruction of their path.
They shall fear the name of God,
His glory as the sunrise;
Rushing streams drowns the fraud,
That the wind of the Lord drives.
