Who Am I

Who am I to criticize a world gone mad,
Or judge between whats good or bad

Who am I to persuade  my point of view
Or give advice on what to do

Who am I to ask you to follow me,
When I sometimes wander aimlessly

Who am I to talk down to you
When im probably so much worse than you

Who am I to think I stand holy before God
When he just may see me like a lost cause,

I can only answer who am I
When I see myself mirrored in God's eyes.
