Judge - Redeemer

Destructive seeds sprout best from the back row of seats.

I’m trying my best to forgive the body that forgot me.

I don’t live in fear or crumble at the feet of a tyrant.

I was never called to judge the non-compliant.

Hate for its own sake is blindness.

I was never your enemy.

Condemnation was never my place.

«God is love» doesn’t mean that some don’t make the cut.

I’ve never known grace to mean that a good man is not enough.

Hell has raged inside.

I boasted faith when I was scared to die.

Now, I see that salvation isn’t part of a bargain I’m holding up.

I was never your enemy.

Condemnation was never my place.

If you only know God as a judge,

I’d rather meet him by gavel than live on the run.
