962 God’s Righteous Disposition Brooks No Offense
Verse 1
God’s righteous disposition
is the righteous punishment of all evildoers.
All who do not walk in God’s way
will surely get punishment
even if they follow to the end.
This is the righteousness of God.
Pre-chorus 1
Righteous disposition does not mean
that those who can confess their sins
are dealt with leniently.
Chorus
Righteousness is holiness,
a disposition that won’t abide
any offenses by mankind.
All that’s filthy and unchanged
only merits God’s contempt.
Verse 2
God’s righteous disposition
is not meant to be the law,
but rather kingdom’s decree,
a decree of righteous punishment
for all who don’t have the truth
and those who have failed to change,
and there’s no chance of being saved.
Verse 3
When mankind is sorted out
according to each person’s kind,
the good will be rewarded,
the evildoers will receive
their rightful punishment.
Man’s destination will be clear.
Salvation will then be complete.
Pre-chorus 2
The work of saving man will end.
The retribution will be brought
on all who commit evil.
Chorus
Righteousness is holiness,
a disposition that won’t abide
any offenses by mankind.
All that’s filthy and unchanged
only merits God’s contempt.
