The Command

(Atmospheric, low, trembling)

He called the mountains first… then He called me.

The earth stood still, the air got heavy, and my soul felt the weight of His voice.

“Come stand before Me… I have a case to lay out.”

You brought me out of places I should’ve died in,

Pulled me from the chains I called normal,

Blocked curses spoken in the dark,

Led me through roads I didn’t choose but needed.

And when You asked, “What have I done to you?”

My heart had no accusation, only trembling truth.

You were faithful when I wasn’t.

You were steady when I wandered.

You were present when I ran.

I brought You offerings You never asked for,

Sacrifices You didn’t require,

Performance instead of surrender,

Perfection instead of obedience.

I gave You everything but me…

And still You called me closer.

You said:

Do justice — let your hands be clean and your steps be straight.

Love mercy — let compassion be the fire in your chest.

Walk humbly — stay low, stay yielded, stay Mine.

This is what I require.

Not your performance… your posture.

Not your noise… your alignment.

You showed me the crooked scales I lived by,

The lies I agreed with,

The places I betrayed myself to keep the peace,

The seasons where I ate but never felt full,

Worked but never saw harvest,

Built but nothing stood.

You exposed the misalignment not to shame me,

But to free me.

You tore down what I built without You

So You could build what lasts.

I laid down what I thought You wanted,

Picked up what You actually required.

Justice in my hands,

Mercy in my heart,

Humility in my steps.

I turned toward Your voice,

And everything shifted.

Now I walk in the rhythm of Your command:

Justice flowing through my actions,

Mercy shaping my reactions,

Humility guiding my decisions.

I walk with You — steady, surrendered, aligned.

This is the life You called forth in me,

And I answer it with my whole being.

He’s calling you too…

Step into the courtroom.

Hear His voice.

Take His command.

Let justice rise in you,

Let mercy soften you,

Let humility steady you.

Walk with Him — and watch everything change.
