The Lord Will Judge What's Right

[Verse 1 – Bubba]
Lord, I'm running to Your shelter,
Got a lion on my trail.
Hear him roaring through the timber,
Like he's certain I will fail.
Folks are telling half the story,
Making wrong look black and white.
I won't swing back in the darkness—
Lord, You bring it to the light.

[Darlene – Answer]
To the light, oh, to the light!
Let the truth come out tonight!

[Chorus – Both]
The Lord will judge what's right,
When the whole world gets it wrong.
I won't carry that old hammer,
I won't sing revenge's song.
He can see behind the curtain,
He can weigh the heart inside.
I'll put my case before Him—
The Lord will judge what's right!

[Verse 2 – Bubba]
Now if I've done my neighbor dirty,
If I've paid back good with harm,
Let the truth come find me standing,
I won't hide behind my charm.
But if I've been falsely accused,
And they're chasing me for spite,
Lord, You know the road I've traveled;
You can sort the wrong from right.

[Verse 3 – Darlene]
Rise, O Lord, and bring Your justice,
Let the nations gather near.
You're the righteous Judge of people,
Not a rumor whispered here.
Search the mind and search the spirit,
See the places eyes can't see.
Be the shield of those who trust You,
Bring the wickedness to its knees.

[Bridge – Half-Time, Stomps and Hammond Organ]
[Bubba – Spoken Rhythm]
There's a man out digging trouble,
With a shovel and a grin.
Dug a pit to catch his brother—

[Darlene – Sung]
Then he went and tumbled in!

[Bubba]
That old mischief circles homeward,
Like a wheel upon the road.

[Darlene]
And the Judge who sees the hidden
Knows the weight of every load.

[Both – Rising]
Turn around while there's still time!
Leave the crooked ways behind!

[Final Chorus – Full Gospel Band and Handclaps]
The Lord will judge what's right,
Let His righteousness be known!
I don't need to take His gavel,
I don't need to claim His throne.
He can see behind the curtain,
He can weigh the heart inside.
I'll give thanks and sing His praises—
The Lord will judge what's right!

[Outro – Acoustic Guitar, Harmonies, Harmonica]
[Bubba – Spoken]
When the truth's bigger than you,
give the case to the One who knows it all.
And make sure you've searched your own heart, too.

[Darlene – Sung]
I'll praise the name of the Lord Most High!

[Both]
Amen!
