Justice and mercy

There is an unspeakable irony in the way that God always seems to put me first, and I treat Him with nowhere near the way He deserves.

***
Sinners, wrung with true repentence
Doomed for guilt to endless pains
Justice now revokes the sentence
Mercy calls you; break your chains


-- From "Angels from the Realms of Glory" by James Montgomery
