Verse 1
They call You just a judge,
With lightning in Your hand.
A King of wrath and fury,
Misread throughout the land.
But we have read Your story,
We have heard You plead,
Calling sinners home in mercy,
“Child, come back to Me.”
⸻
Pre-Chorus 1
You are holy, holy, holy,
Righteous in all Your ways.
Hating sin yet slow to anger,
Mercy flowing day by day.
⸻
Chorus (congregational emphasis)
Holy, faithful, unchanging God,
From the Old to the New Testament,
Your love is life!
Judge of all the earth, yet Savior too,
Your creation doesn’t yet know You,
And how Your love redeems the lost!
Your creation doesn’t yet know You,
And how Your love redeems the lost!
⸻
Verse 2
You sent the flood and saved the ark,
A remnant safe within the dark.
Through Egypt’s plagues, You made a way,
The blood on doors kept death at bay.
The city Nineveh heard Jonah’s cry,
Repentance turned Your wrath aside.
Even stiff-necked Israel, You stayed,
Calling them back when they disobeyed.
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2
You meet us in our questioning,
Our reasoning, our plea.
With justice tempered by Your mercy,
You guide us patiently.
⸻
Chorus (congregational emphasis)
Holy, faithful, unchanging God,
From the Old to the New Testament,
Your love is life!
Judge of all the earth, yet Savior too,
Your creation doesn’t yet know You,
And how Your love redeems the lost!
⸻
Verse 3
Mercy flowing from the garden to the cross,
The problem is us — we forget what sin has cost.
From Eden’s garden, mercy on display,
Clothed our parents, redemption set in play.
Old ways, new ways, Same God in command,
Justice wrapped in mercy, held in His hand.
⸻
Bridge
Same God, same promise, through every age and land,
We bow, we praise, held in Your faithful hand.
We bow, we praise, held in Your faithful hand.
⸻
Final Chorus
Holy, faithful, unchanging God,
From the Old to the New Testament,
Your love is life!
Judge of all the earth, yet Savior too,
Your creation doesn’t yet know You,
And how Your love redeems the lost!
Your creation doesn’t yet know You,
And how Your love redeems the lost!
