Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; *Mercy, And Not Sacrifice* [Repost]

[after Hosea 6:6]


Love, Who is God, declared this advice:

I desired mercy, and not sacrifice:

at the throne of Love, Who is God, mercy shall suffice---


shall ever suffice; mercy, without righteous reckoning;

mercy that is always, and eagerly, beckoning,

undaunted and unchanged by sin and death's hectoring.


Mercy, and not sacrifice . . .

to that the Holy Word of God testifies;

and this, more than all else, the haters despise.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The first and third lines allude to 1 John 4:8. interpreted through the commutative property of arithmetic that we all learned in third grade.
