Micah
Faixa 6
Micah speaks like court is open God calls the mountains to hear Samaria stands accused Jerusalem accused too
The charge is covenant sin Not confusion Not misunderstanding Covenant sin
They kept religious language But corruption ruled within The court is open What does the Lord require?
Not performance Not displayed
Do justice Love mercy Walk humbly With your God
The rulers hated justice They devoured the weak The prophets sold comfort To whoever paid to speak
Micah said the problem Was not sacred sound They were building Zion With blood in the ground
Blood in the ground Then the book turns, judgment is real But not the final word From Bethlehem, small among Judah
Comes the ruler from ancient days Not just a better king, the Messiah The shepherd who stands in the strength of the Lord Micah sees a future mountain
Zion is lifted high Nations come for teaching War is put aside Swords become plowshares
Spears become pruning hooks The judge of all nations Sets the world right What does the Lord require?
Not performance Not display
Do justice Love mercy Walk humbly With your God
Micah ends with pardon Who is a God like you? You pass over sin You keep covenant love
You cast sins down into the depths of the sea Courtroom Bethlehem Kingdom
Mercy God judges corruption But He remembers His promise
