Measured Against the Plumb Line

Each of our lives
just as of old
to be measured
against the plumb line

Yet none of us worthy
to come before God
all falling short of perfection
needing our savior

The blood of the lamb
poured out to balance
righting the scales
wiping clean the slate

Making us straight
all of us right
in the loving eyes
of almighty God
