Must we be so quick to judge

So quick to assume and hold a grudge

Why do we think we are better

When we know not the things they weather

Why do we criticize and be unkind

Or choose to give a piece of our mind

Why do we categorize what people matter more

When God has said, we’re all to die for

Where is the love, the kind we are called to

Both from me and from you

For no one in better, we’re all plagued the same

What good does it to put down and shame

We all are all sinners, no one is perfect here

We all have fallen short, let me make that clear

So, when temptation comes to judge or be unkind

Think with love, and may we use our mind

For we are called to be like Jesus, so what would He do

He would choose love, instead of being cruel

Someday the end will come and we all will be judged

Did we live with love or hold a grudge

Were we like Christ in how we did live

Choosing kindness and a heart to forgive

Friend as we go about in our day to day

May we be like Christ, this I do pray

Be like Christ

Matthew 7:1-2 NIV

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
