What standard will you use
When it comes to others?
Will it be the one you learned
In the building
Under cross and steeple
From the preacher
Thumping and waving
His Bible?
From the evangelist on
On the street
Sending everyone to hell?
Or will you listen
To the One they claim to follow
“Be compassionate,
Judge no one,
Condemn no one,
Forgive and give”
The standard I use
Will be the one
I am measured by
So best to go easy
Be kind, and patient
Learn the art of Love
Directly from the Master
