Analysis of Righteousness
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Behold the days will arrive,
When God fulfills His promise;
To be glad you are alive,
To see the day of justice.
In those days and at that time,
He will cause a righteous tree;
People will pay for their crime,
Of righteousness you will see.
In those days you will be saved,
And you will dwell securely;
No longer to sin enslaved,
And not acting impurely.
The Lord is your righteousness,
And David shall never lack;
Any man with blessedness,
Since the Lord will have his back.
God shall never lack a man,
For sitting upon the throne;
To reign eternal lifespan,
Having judgment on His own.
Priests shall never lack a man,
Before of burnt offerings;
With a sacrificial plan,
In their worship gatherings.
