He’ll Judge In Righteousness (2) Poem by Michael P. Johnson

It’s up to man of flesh and bone
God’s judgement’s more than fair –Ro.2: 2
Receive it here through Christ alone –Jn.16: 8
The option now is there

In Righteousness! He’ll judge the earth –Ps.96: 13
Not sinners on their own
But those now saved with second birth –1Pe.4: 17
Will stand before the throne –Ro.14: 10

God won’t be mocked or taken light –Gal.6: 7
His judgement can’t be bought
To Him each deed is plain in sight –Ecc.12: 14
And every single thought –Heb.4: 12

Each word’s recorded good and bad –Jas.3: 5-6
As though on disk and tape –Ro.2: 16
Countless ending broken and sad –Mt.8: 12
Will find there’s no escape –Jer.25: 31

The Judge’s name is Righteousness! –Isa.59: 17
He’s holy through and through Isa.57: 15
As man must be, and nothing less Lev.19: 2
If he’s to live anew

A sin to hide, will be in vain
All darkness now must go –1Jn.1: 5
No matter how we try to feign
The “Judge Of Life” will know –Ps.33: 13-15

We must take care to walk ‘God’s Way’ –Dt.5: 33
He’s wise to every lie –Rev.15: 5
If none can flee His judgement day –Ro.2: 3
It’s better not to try

Our Righteous Lord hates all deceit –Pr.6: 16-19
If yet there’s some within
Beware, because this Judge you’ll meet
Will never let you win –Heb.3: 7-19…PTO…
