Mercy Refused David Baroni Justice demanded satisfaction The law had been broken again and again Judgment required immediate action Death wanted payment for sin Mercy refused and love took my place There on the cross where justice met grace Mercy refused to let me die Jesus the Lamb was crucified Though rightfully death wanted me Mercy refused Christ has become my righteousness The Lord is my peace and my freedom from sin Now I am clothed in His holiness To a new life I entered in when As high as the heavens are over the earth So great is His mercy to us As far as the east is from the west That's show far Hes removed our transgressions From us
