WHEN GRACE SPEAKS THE LAW KEEP QUIET

His grace reaches out to all
To the one whose wonder far
From the father’s house
And left the porter fold
Into down that road
 
Whose wonder far and fallen
Short of God’s own salvation
To graceless live lived in pleasure
In chase of this things and care of this world
When grace speaks
 
Everything remains silent
Silence to the accusation
Of our archenemies
Who daily stood before our maker
Tending our shortcoming and faults
 
When grace speaks
The sin that was left scares
With pain deep down our soul
That we find it hard difficult
To let it go talkless of reaching forgiveness
 
When grace speaks
The law keep quiet
The justice of law that demands our life
But mercy saw us through the Son
Not what will were was
 
But we should become
When grace steps into our case
Our case of hopelessness
In which the law is standing at a corner
Waiting to take its full wrought of sinful living
 
When grace speaks
The law keep quiet
The handwritten of criticism of men
Erase off as against our names
We come plain spotless guiltless before the law
 
That the law found no dot of fault
Against us because grace is speaking
And law remains quiet silence
When grace speaks the law keep quiet
Grace found me, keeps me and leads me home
