Judge of All the Earth (feat. Sovereign Grace Kids)

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 its 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
