Songs of Love 2:164

【By You the Best is Now】

By You, the best is now,

For You’re better than all.

I’m not ashamed when I rely on You.

By You I will rejoice.

I once believed

The past’s better than now.

And I forgot You are with me now.

Your love is surrounding me.

You’re loving me, embracing me.

Your love has never changed.

For You are better than all,

By You the best is now.

【Exodus 22:21-27】

21 "You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

22 You shall not mistreat any widow or fatherless child.

23 If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry,

24 and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.

25 "If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him.

26 If ever you take your neighbor's cloak in pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down,

27 for that is his only covering, and it is his cloak for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
