[Shai Linne, SovereignGraceKids - Judge of All the Earth lyrics]
Tune in with concentration as
We resume the conversation
The loftiest thoughts conceivable
For human contemplation
Trying to search the mysteries of
The divine is real deep
And when it comes to the nature of God
At times we still sleep
We must risk people tuning us
Out as we discuss this
The topic on the table
For reflection? God's Justice
The Scriptures are clear: salvation
Belongs to God alone
And that righteousness and justice are
The foundation of His throne
He's the priceless gift and treasure
All life exists for His pleasure
And He is the standard by which
All righteousness should be measured
All human judges fail- no need
To share the statistics
But God judges perfectly due
To His characteristics
First, He's omniscient
So He never lacks information
Secondly, His understanding: it has no
Limitations Plus He knows
The thoughts and all the motives behind them
And no one could ever go hide in a
Place where the Sovereign LORD
Cannot find them when passing a sentence
He has the power of execution
The proper retribution for
Our private revolutions
And He's in the position to
Smash us for our treason
No one'll be copping pleas when
God dispatches all His legions
To execute the sentence on
Resolute defendants Who rejected
The truth because they never knew repentance
And those who stood against the Great
I Am and His Anointed
When God judges the nations through
The Man He has appointed
The Judge of all the earth shall do right The
Judge of all the earth shall do right
He is good and His ways are just
Worthy of our faith and trust
The Judge of all the earth shall do right
As we continue to consider
This particular perfection
Let's take a second to
Address a few misconceptions
When many think of God they assume
His love is a must that's true
But it doesn't negate the fact
That God is just so when we say this
They'll wanna take us off the playlist
But God is never under
Obligation to be gracious
See, justice and mercy are
Two separate categories
And God is the one who chooses
Which way He'll have His glory
The choices The Holy One
Certainly can't be faulted
In punishing the guilty
His righteousness is exalted
He also rewards the righteous, we kind of
Sort of like this
The problem of course is that
Nobody who's born is righteous
All of Adam's descendants
Are inherently filthy
That's problematic for a God who
Will not clear the guilty
If God is gonna save us and
Demonstrate what His love is
It must be in a manner
That's consistent with His justice
Jesus Christ, The Righteous One
The perfect solution
Proving that God is just on
The basis of substitution perfect obedience
Consecration without a flaw
Yet on the cross He suffered
The condemnation of the law
So now God is able to
Be just and the justifier
Of all who turn from their sin
And place their trust in Messiah
The resurrected Lord is our
Infinite treasure truly
He gives us new eyes to see
His justice in all it's beauty!
The Judge of all the earth shall do right The
Judge of all the earth shall do right
He is good and His ways are just
Worthy of our faith and trust
The Judge of all the earth shall do right
We resume the conversation
