Where Do We Go From Here

I found out that I am not good today Did you ever come to that conclusion? You saw something that you wish you didn't see? - some hidden prejudice, preconceived notions It comes out of you And no matter how you tried, it's still there And you didn't do a good job at it to get rid of it It bothers me because I know it's wrong And I shouldn't have it I know it's ingrained in me But by whom I do not know I made a very feeble attempt to get rid of it But it won't go away All the while I kept thinking "that person probably sensed it" "I don't want to make him feel bad" "Why do I think that?" "I have to try to get rid of it" (this perception) The thing that bothered me was that I was making him feel bad Because I think that, he must have sensed it I don't want to make anyone feel bad And if what I say or think is wrong then it needs to change Where do I go from here? All my friends, well the majority of them resemble him - that guy So why this sudden prejudice, this thought that jumped out of me? I don't know but it grieves me And I am sure it bothers Him more - God Well God, you'd better deal with it now You brought it to the surface I didn't even know it existed It is here I know it exists So only You can do Only You can get rid of it I trust in You "for there is no respect of persons with God" (Romans 2:11) And "my brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory" (James 2:1) Well God You can start now
