Mercy Refused

<p>Justice demanded satisfaction<br/>The law had been broken again and again<br/>Judgment required immediate action<br/>Death wanted payment for sin<br/><br/>CHORUS<br/>Mercy refused and love took my place<br/>There on the cross where justice met grace<br/>Mercy refused to let me die<br/>Jesus the Lamb was crucified<br/>Though rightfully death wanted me<br/>Mercy refused<br/><br/>Christ has become my righteousness<br/>The Lord is my peace and my freedom from sin<br/>Now I am clothed in His holiness<br/>To a new life I entered in when<br/>As high as the heavens are over the earth<br/>So great is His mercy to us<br/>As far as the east is from the west<br/>That&#x27;s how far He’s removed our transgressions<br/>From us
