When the Scales are Balanced – v3

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;

Lord, 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.

We are saved God's grace alone, 
not by our works

anything we could do;
His redeeming love, 
has saved us, 
from the grave, the tomb.

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.
