No wrongdoing goes unpunished
The pain is in the deed
Even if the law does not catch you
Even if you escape imprisonment
Even if you are never brought to trial
You do not escape scot-free
Misery will haunt your days
Your soul is lost to joy
Happiness has left your house
No longer in your employ
You cannot escape God’s justice
It’s in our DNA
‘See how he flags
He whose soul is not at rights’
We have destroyed ourselves
No one gets away with murder
Or away with anything
In suppressing the voice of conscience
We suppress the dearest thing
They thought to kill the voice of God
That day on Calvary
And every victim in this world
Suffers same as he
But life is not to be destroyed
The Lord is guarantee
And every wrong be answered for
When we are all set free

+ We often say that wrongdoing goes unpunished, but that is not so. Our very nature, created by a loving God, is such that to go against goodness brings us into immediate misery. Until we confess our wrongdoing, darkness will blot our soul.
