Foreman, Jon - Equally Skilled Lyrics
How miserable I am
I feel like a fruit-picker who arrived here
After the harvest
There's nothing here at all
There's nothing at all here that could placate my hunger
There's not one honest soul left alive
Here on the planet
We're all murderers and thieves
Setting traps here for even our brothers
And both of our hands
Are equally skilled
At doing evil
Equally skilled
At bribing the judges
At perverting justice
Both of our hands
Both of our hands
The day of justice comes
And is even now swiftly arriving
Don't trust anyone at all
Not your best friend or even your wife
For the son hates the father
The daughter despises even her mother
Look, your enemies are right
Right in the room of your very household
And both of their hands
Are equally skilled
At doing evil
Equally skilled
At bribing the judges
Equally skilled
At perverting justice
Both of their hands
Both of their hands
No, don't gloat over me
For though I fall, though I fall
I will rise again
Though I sit here in darkness
The Lord, the Lord alone
He will be my light
I will be patient as the Lord
Punishes me for the wrongs I've done
Against Him
After that, He'll take my case
Bringing me to light and to justice
For all I have suffered
And both of His hands
Are equally skilled
At ruining evil
Equally skilled
At judging the judges
Equally skilled
Administering justice
Both of His hands
Both of His hands
Are equally skilled
At showing me mercy
Equally skilled
At loving the loveless
Equally skilled
Administering justice
Both of His hands
Both of His hands

Reading Micah 7 while listening to this gives the song a much greater impact. I choked up a little.
I have so many years loving your songs and all your artwork 😍 thanks thanks
I wonder how many fruit pickers will regret refusing the firstfruit Jesus when His free gift was offered, oh so sad, to think that we tried to give,show and share His love, not the love of this world but His supernatural pure love, I have sat and cried for Him, and for them '===== now the door has closed and we will be away, ,,,, so sad,

I briefly accepted him, then quickly got off track.. No matter how much I screw up he’d gladly welcome me back, for I’m the only one to blame for not taking shelter in Jesus name...
I love that you can take a couple of verses right out of the Bible and make a song with a great sound that's not cheesy, not cookie-cutter, and that I actually enjoy.
one of my favorite songs <3
How does this awesome song only have 10 comments?
song directly from Micah 7:7-9...just watched John Piper's preaching
janlloyd santos thank you I was just wondering "where is this?" I was thinking maybe Lamentations. Thanks.
Dear Jon,
I love this song from Micah 7, it has always hit me hard when I play it, right to heart, and you have crafted your version & the music so well. One thing I've learned through meditating on the Word is that our Heavenly Father disciplines those He loves, and Christ took the punishment for our sins. Wow! May God's grace sustain you always! ❤️✝️❤️
Love in Christ,
Leah
Micah 7 ?
Sorry I didn't get anything from Micah 7 from this lyrics...I see it contains 'ideas' from several different areas of scripture though.
Some of the lyrics are taken word for word from Micah 7 in the Bible.

Brings me to tears every time. And I ain't one to cry.
Thank you!
Good songs Jon. Thanks for sharing.
Love the contrast which subtly grows to the difference of sinners and Christ!
Such clean sound
this describes my day pretty well
Ohhhhh yeah!
