If Justice
by Barbara Philbrook

If justice were metered by God in place of his grace,
what lies ahead we could not face.

But due to  love we are unable to comprehend,
the price was paid by His only Son whom God did send.

We have the ability to choose our salvation,
and as we do, instantly starts an internal regeneration.

Never forcing us it must be our choice,
listen my friend you'll hear His beckoning voice.

Provision for each of us was already made,
before the foundation of this world was laid.

Word was given to lead us to the truth,
the most fortunate of us learn during our youth.

God does not will that even one soul be lost to sin,
Jesus is knocking at your heart's door waiting to be invited in.

The method is so simple some feel it must be a mistake,
but salvation is a gift that anyone may take.

You must believe in God and Jesus His son,
and that what the Bible says is just what was done.

Next confess with your mouth and repent of past sin,
open your heart and invite Jesus in.

The old man will start fading into the past,
and a new you will come forth whose salvation will last.

Praise God it is as simple as it can be,
God planned for us all to have the victory.
