Righteous
I test the righteous of the earth to see if their worship is true
With your hearts wide open you seek My favor in all that you do
The righteous have the duty and honor to progress the holy kingdom
The banner of faith strikes down the evil that has been done
Lift your worship high above this earth to the heavens that are waiting
To see the righteous crowned with victory as their life is stating
Only salvation cures the ills of the righteous that see My face
Wrap yourself with the heavenly victories and take your place
Singing the praises of Jesus and all that was given with love’s devotion
To the righteous who speak His name and apply His love like a lotion
Lift your hands and hearts in the way only His righteous knows
Your love for your God is an overpowering force to show
That eternity is at your hand and no fear will ever survive on earth
All fear was removed from the hearts of the righteous by My Son’s birth
With your eye firmly focused on the worship of your God only good can come
To all the righteous of this earth in full measure, to all not just some
(Psa 7:9 NRSV) O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God.
(Psa 11:1-3 NRSV) 1 – In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to me, “Flee like a bird to the mountains; 2 – for look, the wicked bend the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart. 3 – If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
(Psa 11:5 NRSV) The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates the lover of violence.
(Psa 34:15 NRSV) The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry.
(Psa 68:3 NRSV) But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy.
(Prov 29:2 NRSV) When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
(Mat 5:45 NRSV) so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
(Rom 1:17 NRSV) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, “The one who is righteous will live by faith.”
