Righteousness from heaven

From eternity, a cross was planted for man.
Hung the Glory of God, the Rose Of  Sharon.

Righteousness looked from heaven, Faithfulness was entombed .
He sprung out from the grave, free access ensued.

His throne is so holy; I am mute from sin,
With coals on my tongue, I dare not offend.

But the ridicule from the proud and their contempt for sin.
Drive me to my knees so that I may enter in.

They have no fear of God before their eyes,
They flatter themselves to much to hate their lies.

Keep my feet from their wicked conspiracy,
So that I may live a life of tranquility.

We made idols of men out of our kin,
Now our deistic ways, brings a hardening in sin.

It is our nation’s godlessness, like Adams great sin,
That we have permissive sons, and dead babies within.

Now they are present in the fiery pit of hell,
An eternal punishment in which they fell.

O Lord, Your love reaches to the heavens.
It’s a spring in my heart, the Holy Spirit given.

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains.
It’s a heavenly gift applied for my salvation.

Your justice is like the great deep,
So my sinful heart can find relief.

O Great Shepherd Of the Church,
Complete in us Your work.

Our nation is full of shame and sin.
Come Holy Spirit and revive us again.
