[Hook]
Humanity can't begin to understand
It's the holiness of God against the wickedness of man
How can a just God justify sin
With forgiveness in his hand I'm a sinna'
It's the dilemma
Standing before God we're filthy
How can a just judge justify the guilty (it's the dilemma)
He can not excuse evil or he's just as
Evil as us something to consida'
It's the dilemma
[Verse 1]
Sin has covered our hearts with blackness
Lawless practice with the wrong attractions
Wrongful pa**ions that we all are trapped in
We're severed from the Head like John the Baptist
And now we're about to see God in action
Cause God wants justice, God knows we're dirty
We need mercy, God wants to show us mercy
Oh man, this is problematic
Never in human history could you essentially
Excuse a sin and remain to be just
Justice gets painfully crushed
May we see a judge who is viciously
Holy to the tenth degree
God is a name we can trust
And if our judge is to be perfect
He must perfectly uphold the law
With no deceit beneath the surface
Important to recall: If the Lord is at all
Righteous well then we gotta be judged, according to the law
If the judge is just then he gotta go punish the lawbreaker
Romans 3:10—no one is a God chaser
We're savage members of a decadent race, decked in our [?]
The bad within us is an evident case
The sacrilegious, we're avid sinners, let me explain
The judge can't forgive us until the debt has been paid
Now you see what our dilemma is about
Remember this is a dilemma for God to figure out
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Okay, check here's one to remember
Roll with me cause I got something to give ya
Lets just say your son is the victim
He was murdered and raped and dumped in the river
You're piping mad, you jump in the whip to
Pick up the squad to become his avenger
You wanna see this dude crushed and dismembered
All you really wanna see is justice delivered
Dude is in jail and court comes in December
You can only hope that this judge is a winner
He says, "I'm a merciful judge
I never hold a personal grudge
You can go free because I forgive ya!"
And the judge then expunges a list of
Wicked sins committed from the offender
What would you think of the judge?
Is he a justice defender? Or is he just a pretender?
Now decipher if much love is how you delight in a just judge
God is just and He rightfully must judge
Every wrong motive and law broken
Every idle thought and idol; god, that we hold
In our hearts, hoping
And if all of this is true
How can the judge of sinners
Choose anyone to give forgiveness to?
And since he must exact justice
Isn't it impossible for Him to forgive us?
It's the dilemma
[Hook]
