Balance the Scales

In our dealings, let's balance the scales,
Between justice and mercy, love prevails.
Let's learn from God, let's understand,
To be patient, with an open hand.


Justice is His, He holds the right, yet mercy prevails, in His sight. Ready to forgive, to wipe our slate clean, such love, in this world, has rarely been seen. For those who may falter, who may not meet, our expectations, let's not admit defeat. Instead, let's remember, in every interaction, God's love and mercy, our guiding action.

From His side, a river flowed, blood and water, love bestowed. Symbol of a sacrifice divine, God's love for us, forever enshrined. Son of God, yet humble in heart, to the Father's will, He did impart. Unto death, His obedience did span, a lesson of humility for every woman and man.

Not by our might, nor by power, we stand, but by His grace, on this holy land. Our achievements, a mirror of His grace, reflecting the warmth of His embrace. Humility, a beacon on our spiritual quest, in God's word, we find our rest. Seeking wisdom, seeking understanding, in His promises, we find our standing.

In the face of our sins, so vast, remember, it's never too late to recast. To return to God, seek His grace, find forgiveness in His embrace. In every circumstance, in every strife, we rely on God, the source of life. His power and love, our trusty shield, in His divine presence, our fears are healed.

In our journey, as we tread, by His example, we are led. Humility and obedience, our guide, in His footsteps, we confide. God's promises, a beacon bright, guiding us through the darkest night. Faithful to fulfill, He stands, holding us in His mighty hands. Challenges may come, as waves on a shore, but with God as our guide, we fear no more. For deliverance comes, like dawn's first light, when we turn to God, in the darkest night.

Bold in faith, we march ahead, trust in His promises, our daily bread. In the face of trials, in the face of strife, we find strength in the Giver of Life. Witness to the truth of Christ we bear, His love and grace, we openly share. In our lives, His truth resounds, in His love, we are profoundly found.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
