Preoccupied With the Faults of Others: Stay In Your Lane

Some people come to church just to be seen No Holy nor any Ghost in them can be gleaned Now Jesus was in the temple Teaching a class Until some Pharisees came to Him Acting like an ass They presented a woman to Him Whom they say committed adultery Trying to set a trap attempting To rebuke His sovereignty Jesus drew a line in the sand And He then spoke at last He said "he who is without sin Be first a stone to cast" To focus on the faults of others Causes one to neglect one's own responsibilities Preoccupied with other's wrongdoings Makes one blind to their own atrocities Now I have to ask this one question Where did they find that woman at? For in order to accuse her of adultery One of them must have participated in fact To look into others lives Is not your purpose not reason for being Stay in your lane and focus on The road you are seeing Too preoccupied with the faults of others And not addressing your own shortcomings Minding someone else's business An enterprise you're not even running Instead of looking at someone else's load You should be looking at the Lord Staying on your road And all will be above board So don't look left, don't look right Just keep looking straight ahead Be a productive human being And by the Holy Spirit now led To be a help and not a hindrance To your fellow man Not preoccupied with the faults of others But to lift up and help stand So stay in your lane And guard your behavior Focus on teaching others to do right Like Jesus the Christ Our Savior

Well said Louise, it annoys me how some appoint themselves as masters above others. They should take a long look at their own lives. Tom.
