ROMANS

By Sarah Hawker

Well yes I guess it's true

I'm not as good as some of you

I may never wear a wedding dress of white

And you may think you know my worth

you keep his books down here on earth

and you know the cost of that heavenly flight

You may think you know the plan

that you're the judge at his right hand

you know His will, His wisdom, and His way

You think you'll stand by old Saint Peter

and whisper, "No not that one either.

Just trust me and do as I say."

But vengeance is mine said the Lord

I do believe that means that vengeance isn't yours

To heaven your vanity clings

But you can't hide your pride in angels' wings

You may think you have the right

that you are bathed in holy light

that you know who is lost and who is saved

But you can't know that holy mind

or know to Him which child's divine

or on whose heart the light of glory is emblazed

But vengeance is mine said the Lord

I do believe that means that vengeance isn't yours

To heaven your vanity clings

But you can't hide your pride in angels' wings
