Justice, Mercy or Grace?
by Barbara Philbrook

Justice, mercy or grace,
which of these do you face?

Justice is when we get what we deserve.
That my friend is enough to shatter my nerve.

Mercy is when you don't get what you are deserving of in life.
Now this causes me far less strife.

Grace is when you get what you don't deserve from the Father.
This my friend makes me search for truth even harder.

Justice, mercy or grace, we all must face one of the three.
I thank God we can know what eternity will be.

We can know and are ourselves the ones to choose.
Learn it now, you've nothing to loose.

Only you are allowed to pick what it will be.
So great is God's love for you and me.

Seek and find and make your choice.
Jesus is waiting to hear your voice.

Justice, mercy or grace, one of the three.
I pray you'll be with Jesus for eternity.
