Can anyone please give me the lyrics to this song? "'When Justice called, Mercy answered." I know the Palmetto State Quartet recorded it on their Classic Touch album in 1995. I believe it was recorded by other artist also

It's also an old Chuck Wagon Gang song, on their LP release of "Hear the Gospel Story", and in their vintage Volume Two songbook.
