Mercy and Truth

No mercy can there be without God’s truth,
And it will hurt when sin by truth exposed,
Yet in our hearts we know that His reproof
Will mercy bring to in our hearts repose.

And in His mercy He gives each his place
To play his part in His eternal dance,
For He wants not to see an empty space
That will be filled by risky human chance.

His providence with crooked lines writes straight,
And human choice is woven into whole;
He may not be on time but never late:
He comes to save for Him each human soul.

For mercy and His truth forever form
The world from which creation new’s reborn.
