Judge Me Not
Since I am weak and you are strong,
Yes, please correct, but judge me not.
Yes, please correct, but judge me not.
Shouting and yelling just bring fear,
Withdrawal, holding back with tears.
Withdrawal, holding back with tears.
If you would gently point the way,
More likely will I blameless stay.
More likely will I blameless stay.
Because you know a better road,
Please kindly show me; do not goad.
Please kindly show me; do not goad.
I went about in ignorance;
How can a judged one recompense?
How can a judged one recompense?
Unless I know your faithful love,
My sins it’s hard to rise above.
My sins it’s hard to rise above.
Who Can Stand?
“If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.” (Psalm 130:3-4)
Wow! Indeed, who can stand before a holy, pure God? If He were like humans, He would have destroyed us long ago. Humans constantly find fault with one another. But the Lord is patient and kind. Yes, we will suffer consequences for our sins, but unlike many people, once we have repented, God forgets our sins. (see Psalm 103:11-13)
