Looking After Your Brother - Romans 14: 13

God has a clear charge here in view
not always be judge over anyone ever
this is looking at persons with love
to judge wrongly ain't at all too clever

Despite all that's been said
God calls you to judge aright
with a sound mind right on cue
learn well the fall of the night

Be sure not to hold back your brother
meaning never be a stumbling block
always show grace following grace
speak kindly in all your talk

Give no opportunity or occasion
to fall on your brother's way
be a replica of your Lord and saviour
whose words we all would want to say

So learn well the divine attitude
to be always a servant for all
be as a Jesus disciple always was
available and willing as is God's call

("Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. ") - Romans 14: 13 (ESV)
