More than Law

O Adonai

God is a burning Presence who appears!

Who frees the Jews, by slavery oppressed

Teaching them to live at God’s behest

Following only God for forty years.

Unprecedent outpouring from above!

At Sinai, God confers the holy law;

but broken tablets show a hidden flaw

and people are suspicious of the Father’s love.

But look! The Law’s fulfilled by Jesus Christ

Surpassing justice through his flowing blood.

His broken body being the measure of God’s good

He is the cost of law, the infinitely priced.

More than Law, His love will justice make;

The unjust cross, let justice not forsake.
