Mercy and Justice

The smell of blood dominated the field
but to the culprit, He had put a shield
Where is justice? 
Did he not deserve to be punished?

The whole nation rebelled against him.
Drove his patience boil down to a steam.
He lost is reward, by that one thing
He still chose to be forgiving

Getting stoned, is hard to forget
He felt every hit closer to death
Determine to pardon everyone who take part
He still smiled with his open heart

Do justice and mercy go together?
Seems like evil has it's own way
To escape the trial and deal with it's crime 
But someone promised, there will come a time

Mercy, Mercy, who has the right to wield you?
Justice, Justice, are you even true?
The clock is ticking when will we hear his gavel?
The judge silently examining the rebels


He hears the whispers and cries
of all people on all nations
Soon enough everyone will witness
his vindication and justification

Jah is a rock! He will not be moved or swayed
Mercy wil be given, Justice will come in play
At the end of the system of things, the revelation,
sheep will be separated from goats on that day
