The Requirements

Do Justice


A righteous man will do justice

And I want to be a righteous man

So to do justice I must be just

Live by faith no longer sight to trust

This is the truth I must understand


A loving man will do justice

Oh just justifier, in You I will trust

You worked out your justice on the cross

Oh just justifier, In you I will trust

As I judge what your justice has cost

That your justice will be done through me

As I live by faith the world will see


I want to be a loving man

To be faithful to the truth as I walk in the light

To do the right thing in my Lord’s sight

This is required by God’s plan


Oh just justifier, in You I will trust

You worked out your justice on the cross

Oh just justifier, In you I will trust

As I judge what your justice has cost

That your justice will be done through me

As I live by faith the world will see


Love Mercy


Forgive us our sins as we forgive
May compassion mark all of our ways
We live in the grace and the mercy you give
You provide this gift so we give it away
Of your great mercy we will never tire
So Lord have mercy, May we give mercy
To model your mercy is what you require
So Lord have mercy, We must give mercy
We’ll gain it and give it
We’ll love it and live it
We’ll gain it and give it
We’ll love it and live it

Our faith and our hope will be shown
By the mercies we pour out as we serve
Only then the mercies of God will be known
For none of us get what we truly deserve
Of your great mercy we will never tire
So Lord have mercy, May we give mercy
To model your mercy is what you require
So Lord have mercy, We must give mercy
We’ll gain it and give it
We’ll love it and live it
We’ll gain it and give it
We’ll love it and live it


Walk Humbly


My dreams are no better than the next man’s

But no man is better than me

Oh to live with a right estimation

Of who I was created to be


I would walk humbly down here in the fire

I would let go of my worldly desires

I would walk in the way that the Lord requires

Help me walk humbly before you Lord!


But to think of others as better

Is all part of dying to self

It costs me my pride

But when to self I’ve died

I will gain the ultimate wealth


I would walk humbly down here in the fire

I would let go of my worldly desires

I would walk in the way that the Lord requires

Help me walk humbly before you Lord!


Micah 6:8
