Servant

Oh , servant of God hear my voice my purchase price was to set you free it was to you I gave the choice that you would know true liberty Justice has cried out in the roadways she has made known her law in the court even mine own servant the one familiar has used it like a weapon for sport I have made known its reason before you but for gain has plied it with lies the weak and the small have had no defense and a bribe makes a fool of the wise I would never have left you but in my precepts you did not stay you ignored all my instruction and the law of mercy threw away I watched your actions in my temple your distain you did not hide my comfort and my loving kindness you held back from those who cried I gave you the finest teachers and the master example I set I charged you to care for my household but your own debt you did forget So large a debt I forgave you when you cried to me to acquit but those who owed you even less you declared their own lives forfeit You have defiled my uprightness my judgments equity you have brought shame you have polluted my holy temple abused my reputation and my name The whole body is sick with infection it is the bread of sorrow you eat to the house I come for inspection and see how my lambs you do treat Nothing can you hide in secret every action before me is known from the oppressors I will deliver I am the Judge and the Chief corner stone Matthew Chapters 23 and 24 COPYRIGHT © 2011 C.
