Servant

Oh , servant of God          hear my voice

my purchase price      was to set you free

it was to you       I gave the choice

that you would know                     true liberty

 

Justice has cried out         in the roadways

she has made known her law            in the court

even mine own servant    the one familiar

has used it          like a weapon for sport

 

I have made known its reason           before you

but for gain          has plied it with lies

the weak and the small         have had no defense

and a bribe                  makes a fool of the wise

 

 

I would never            have  left you

but in my precepts       you did not stay

you ignored           all my instruction

and the law of mercy        threw away

 

I watched your actions     in my temple

your distain                    you did not hide

my comfort         and my loving kindness

you held back    from those who cried

 

I gave you the finest teachers

and the master example I set

I charged you to care          for my household

but your own debt      you did forget

 

So large a debt             I forgave you

when you cried to me          to acquit

but those who owed you even less

you declared their         own lives forfeit

 

You have defiled my uprightness

my judgments    equity you have brought shame

you have polluted              my holy temple

abused my reputation              and my name

 

The whole body              is sick with infection

it is the bread of sorrow you eat

to the house          I come for inspection

and see how                 my lambs you do treat

 

Nothing can you hide in secret

every action             before me is known

from the oppressors        I will deliver

I am the Judge      and the Chief corner stone
