Ron Wiseman - Measure For Measure


Song Lyrics

Biblical Reference


In the place of your haughtiness,
you will be brought low.
Isaiah 2:11 - The lofty looks of man
shall be humbled, and the haughtiness
of men shall be bowed down, and the
LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isaiah 2:17 - And the loftiness of man
shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness
of men shall be made low: and the LORD
alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isaiah 13:11 - And I will punish the world
for their evil, and the wicked for their
iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy
of the proud to cease, and will lay low
the haughtiness of the terrible.

And every law that you transgress,
is going to bring another sorrow.
Isaiah 24:5 - The earth also is defiled
under the inhabitants thereof; because
they have transgressed the laws, changed
the ordinance, broken the everlasting
covenant.
Daniel 9:11 - Yea, all Israel have
transgressed thy law, even by departing,
that they might not obey thy voice;
therefore the curse is poured upon us,
and the oath that is written in the law
of Moses the servant of God, because we
have sinned against him.

This is the way the scales are set,
everything in just measure.
You may add or detract or you might even
make it a little bit better
and I say...
 

Just weights and measures,
Measure for measure.
Just weights and measures,
Measure for measure.
Deuteronomy 25:15 - But thou shalt have
a perfect and just weight, a perfect and
just measure shalt thou have: that thy
days may be lengthened in the land which
the LORD thy God giveth thee.
And if the accuser brings evidence,
and our fate is sealed forever,
The judge can only set us free,
by raising an oppressor.
So it'll be, until we see,
only he is our protection.
And if you want to be redeemed,
you got to earn a coin of redemption
and I say...

(chorus)

Don't worry my little child,
though it's dark it will get better.
Our father will correct us all,
everyone in just measure,
and I say...

(chorus)

Measure for measure...
