Exchanging Shoes

Who or what am I that I should judge? When my heart bears the slightest grudge For I am a mere mortal born in sin My filthy rags, only by his blood, made clean Should I weigh my sins against another’s? Dare to believe I’m far righteous than others? Have we walked in each other's shoes? Has desperation ever given cause to wrongly choose? Can any one live here forever? Has none of us sinned, ever? I pray that we build, and promote through love On the way to a peaceful home above Let’s stay grounded acknowledging that sin is sin Doesn’t matter what kind, all are akin As our Lord alluded in one of many parables And it’s a good example of being charitable Let me take the log out of my eye ‘Ere I remove from my neighbor’s, the fly Aren’t we really just passing through? Alive, only to help others, even a few? So that when we reach the end of our road We may have achieved our goal Then when we stand in the court of the King To give account of these songs we daily sing We’ll accrue mercy for the wrongs we did ‘Come share my kingdom’, would He bid ~*~ For: Joe Flach's, "Here Comes The Judge Contest"
