Mercy and Truth at the Cross (Poem)
Mercy and Truth Met up at the Cross
When Jesus gave His life and
Died for you and me,
To provide for us salvation, and
From sin and death set us free,
Do you really know what happened?
As His precious blood was shed,
Mercy then met truth on the cross,
Pleaded our case on Calvary,
Mercy said of a truth I endure forever
Truth then replied,
They will know me and be made free
Truth said, I am the resurrection
And I am the life,
Whosoever believes in me, mercy is granted
Though they were dead, yet shall they live,
Mercy replied, I am the way you are pardoned
Truth responded, I am the truth and you are free
The risen Christ said, I am the life and I’ve come
That you’d have it more abundantly
Grace said, I am unmerited favor extended to you
Love said, I transcend all barriers and every fault you have
Righteousness is imputed to you by faith
Mercy and truth met at the cross
To grant us favor and set us completely free.
