I will execute judgment

God in his righteousness
the law stark before him
our disobedience
our lack of conformance
Failed as a people
drowning in sin
bound by the judgment
our conviction within

I will execute judgment
as the first Passover
the cost of disobedience
must be fully paid
Failed as a people
drowning in sin
but the Lamb took our place
the Son stepping in
