I cannot help but think
that other brothers love to compare
They study you and I
and hope we aren’t aware
They look at us
with disgust
and quote their tattered Bible
Finding reasons to belittle God’s children
as if their judgment is viable
Pick a particular sin, kind sir
and pick on me today
Pick one that you’re not guilty of
and declare how I will pay
While you sit back and boastfully claim
that you are greater than I
for you go to church each week
and give a tenth for tithe
I will surely hear your slander
and suffer for a time
for you are better than I am
and your faith is stronger than mine
Let me try tell you something
something I don’t expect you’ll hear
for the proud man only hears his own words
but I’ll try to win your ear
You my friend are far from God
for all are full of sin
If we were able to be good at all
we would never have needed Him
We could say that He died in vain
and His blood never washed us clean
I’m sorry man
but God had a plan
and your finger pointing doesn’t mean a thing
If you are proud when you look in your mirror
it’s because you worship yourself
You think you are doing good deeds
when bashing someone else
Oh good teacher
Oh good man
Oh my how you are weak
You should probably be silent now
or at least think before you speak
Have a closer look inside
and notice how you fall short
Take it easy on the ones who also sin
or prepare for inevitable retort
