Guiding Others

None of us perfect
all of us weak sinners
unworthy on our own
to come before God

Christ alone
by his sacrifice
through his grace
we may enter in

Ours not to judge
to throw stones at others
yet to witness to them
a better way of life

Guiding them only
with love, as a servant,
bringing them Christ
that they may know God

Living ourselves
trying to be righteous
not by comparing to others
but in following Christ

Standing only
looking in the mirror
judging ourselves
to improve our own walk

Ever onward
a journey ever
humbly striving
to live a better life
