Scales of Mercy

Do not let the ray of his meek sun fa me shines alone So 
Seek O, the favor of the Creator on his templed throne, eke
Favors of mercy Lattitudes of grace; lo the patient Savior’s
Heart pines through tedious days for us, rich joys to impart.
Do seek tenaciously lakes solacing familiar pains. Meander
In his goodness, his ray of peace shines for you. Flee the sin
Shackling us to self-delusions of pride. A doe may blunder
Before the hunter’s scope, but mercy renders a shift of wind
Raining reason not inborn, meaning for praise fore fallacious
Certainty of some evil heart. No weapon formed against you 
Shall prosper. Lark the sky with praise, team hearts O to do
His will and sing: Doh te la so fa me ra doh, O Lord I am all
Prepared thy will know; through my night let bright rays fall.
Here me call when I groan: do ra me fa so la te do ... let me
Feel thy lattitudes of grace bringing me in embrace on my knee.

Hi L'nass, is mercy weighed in scales, what is the counter weight and if it is written harmonic chords where is the disharmony that reverberates behind it. ?I sometimes think that if humans do not show compassion and mercy, then such higher values, whether they issue from God or not, cannot be expressed... without the medium of their expression.... great work as always L'nass
