One Day



A time and a purpose, everything has

   A place do be finished, just as it began

So accidents happen, pure chance has its day

   But God on His throne rules ever and always


Once I was challenged by life’s curious paths

   More as an observer than a maker of plans

I saw justice forgotten by the judgments man made

   And mercy ignored to them it was due


What baffles the mind of those who seek peace

   Is that power is often in the hands of the cruel

And those that love good over unjust gain

   Sit on the sidelines watching the world go in flames


Now righteousness waits and will rule in her day

   When inequity is judged and falls before truth

When ungodly deeds will cease to be seen

   And the saints rule in power with a rod of iron!
