                              The Sovereign Judge


                                 a
            If people do not fear death
            Why should you threaten them with death?
            If people live in constant fear of death
            And you can kill the evildoers
            Who would dare to do it?

                                                          b
            Let the sovereign God be the judge according to our sins
            To take the place of God
            Is like trying to cut for the master carpenter
            If you try to cut for the master carpenter
            You will end up cutting off your hand
