When I Stand

When time is done and I shall stand alone
Before my judge on God Almighty’s throne,
No questions asked or answered, He will know
Each detail of the time I spent below.
By grace I stand within His righteousness,
But He will test my heart’s own faithfulness.
Did I love Him, keeping His commands,
And listen when His Spirit said to stand?
Or did I turn away from His sweet voice
To serve myself by making my own choice?
No matter what He sees when I stand there,
His judgment stands and no one else can share.
By Jesus’ blood my sins have been atoned,
And mercy tempers justice from His throne.
