I
Lord said: “I demand mercy, not sacrifice just!”;
when the Righteous come to my hollow grounds.
Who demands them, to crave for the Day or Gust
what God shall bestow on His own accord, dust.
Who gave em Godspeed, to chant Chorals, hound –
the orphan and the widow at the gates to the ground!
Yet once they there gathered from Egypt as booty, lost.
II
Too many, who judge, while made like Nebuchadnezzar;
or like Nimrod, a fierce Hunter before El Shaddai!
Today, they there carved from shards of clay, no rizz there;
the next made into fabulous angels, now they dare!
Stand firm ye gods, in the courts of the Most High, rabbi;
Sadducees and Zealots, Pharisees and preachers raving –
ye all shall perish like mortals, your honour shall be thy prison!
III
Give Mercy, like a fountain of water, a warm bonfire –
be the handmaid, what washes hands and feet unmoved
by stature and what it costs your face and desires.
You didn't choose Jesus, but there chosen, sire;
now redeem that and exalt, what has been betrothed!
Ye, who been wed for Christ, Holy Spirit your vow proves;
Onward, faithful knights, to Promised Land, on the hour dire!
