Not Fearing the Plumb Line

The judgment of God
in the people under the law
measuring them
against the plumb line

Our lives blessed
by the gift of our savior
no longer judged

By his grace we are offered
salvation if we answer
repenting of our lives
turning away from the world

Not fearing the plumb line
but coming joyful
broken people, yet faithful,
baptized, entering in
