When the Scales are Balanced – v2

At the end of the age
oh at the end of time
when the scales are balanced
when all is put to right
the judgment before us
may it be life

God judging, in the end simple. 
The world, corrupted
as man has made it, 
the garden spoiled
in sin we were rejected
separated from God

God is perfect, God is love, 
and God has conquered
by the sacrifice of Christ 
sin and death forever
in Christ the victory
on the hill of Calvary. 

Because Christ is risen, 
we all can rise with Him
from the deep waters, from death
Something already done, completed,
Good has triumphed over evil 
forever and for all times.

God's grace alone, 
not by our works
anything we could do
His redeeming love, 
has saved us, 
from the grave

So long as we can come to God 
humbly, without guile
on our knees, humbly, 
as a little child,
open to His call
to His witness for us 

Letting go of all the layers 
the layers of things
all of the stuff 
the world puts onto us.
all that is in the way
keeping us from God.
