Every Man Did What Was Right Lyrics

A land once promised, strong and free

Turned away from the King of Peace

They cast aside the holy way

And every man did what seemed right that day

They bowed to idols, chased their pride

Forgot the God who walked beside

So enemies rose, the battle raged

Their cries for mercy filled the age

Oh, when we fall, He hears our cries

His mercy shines, He still provides

Though we run, though we fight

He sends a judge to lead to light

Othniel rose with righteous hand

Deborah called to take a stand

Gideon feared, yet led the fight

With just a torch, he broke the night

Samson strong, yet weak inside

Traded love for foolish pride

Still, in chains, he saw the grace

A final cry, one last embrace

Oh, when we fall, He hears our cries

His mercy shines, He still provides

Though we run, though we fight

He sends a judge to lead to light

We rise, we fall, we lose our way

Still He calls us back each day

But hearts still wander, eyes grow dim

We need a King to reign again

Oh, when we fall, He hears our cries

His mercy shines, He still provides

One will come to break the chains

A righteous King who forever reigns

The judges rose, the judges fell

Yet mercy's song will always tell

Of One who comes to make things right

A perfect Judge, the Lord of Light
