A banging song on this topic.
The Judge Of All The Earth – Shai Linne

“…As we continue to consider this particular perfection
Let’s take a second to address a few misconceptions
When many think of God they assume His love is a must
That’s true, but it doesn’t negate the fact that God is just
So when we say this, they’ll wanna take us off the playlist
But God is never under obligation to be gracious
See, justice and mercy are two separate categories
And God is the one who chooses which way He’ll have His glory
The choices The Holy One certainly can’t be faulted
In punishing the guilty, His righteousness is exalted
He also rewards the righteous, we kind of/ sort of like this
The problem of course is that nobody who’s born is righteous
All of Adam’s descendants are inherently filthy
That’s problematic for a God who will not clear the guilty
If God is gonna save us and demonstrate what His love is
It must be in a manner that’s consistent with His justice
Jesus Christ, The Righteous One, the perfect solution
Proving that God is just on the basis of substitution
Perfect obedience, consecration without a flaw
Yet on the cross He suffered the condemnation of the law
So now God is able to be just and the justifier
Of all who turn from their sin and place their trust in Messiah
The resurrected Lord is our infinite treasure truly
He gives us new eyes to see His justice in all its beauty!
The Judge of all the earth shall do right The Judge of all the earth shall do right
He is good and His ways are just
Worthy of our faith and trust
The Judge of all the earth shall do right”
