Oh God who changes not

Oh God who changes not
Perfect in love and mercy
Your hope saves the hopeless
And ever sets them free
Your compassion angers the wicked
Your all merciful presence does them torment 
Many who shout your name now
Will on judgement day lament 

Not knowing your infinite goodness
That draws men to repent
Your perfect love casts out fear
For fear it does torment 
Those who know your name 
Who know you as Father
Will run to you in hope
As all your sheep you gather 

Oh God who's righteousness reigns
You are too good to do anything wrong
To wise to make a mistake 
Unto eternal ages we shall sing your song
How mercy has indeed triumphed 
Over judgement on the cross
Those who prefer you punish 
Will weep in their eternal loss 

Oh men do lock the doors
Lost in their own hellish thoughts 
As eternal love torments them
They loved lies and them they bought
Who can save such people 
As they reject the God they would not know
They held unto lies and hate
Into their own hell they all must go

Weeping and gnashing their teeth
Like the angry Pharisees who once raged 
At Gods merciful Son 
How in their evil they will age and age
Becoming worms not men 
Lost to the purpose they were created
To shine forth everlasting love 
But all they knew and did was hated
