If a brother sins,
Were quick to judge;
If someone hurts us,
We hold a grudge.
*****
When a sister falls short,
We push her aside;
When we fall short,
We cover and hide.
*****
When a neighbor offends,
Now he is wrong;
And if he offends you,
He will no longer belong.
*****
We are too swift,
To punish our neighbor;
For when we do wrong,
We seek a favor.
*****
Remember Jesus said,
Let him with no sin;
Be the first one,
To cast the stone in.
