Mercy Came Down

Judgment to be replaced
on that blessed day
the day we wait for
this Advent time of year

Mercy came down
God descending
coming to earth as a man
to heal our brokenness

Not in fire or earthquake
not judging the nations
come to bring us back to him
by his loving example

The Spirit of the Law
the commandments in his walk
loving his neighbor so much
giving himself for us

We are to be his people
the sheep of his flock
we must follow our master
going the way of the cross
