Other Sheep

We are the other sheep
not part of the first flock
brought one through Jesus
through his gift on the cross

How can we judge others
when we have been given life
from the pit of our making
to the heights of God’s light

We must be blinded
by the plank in our eyes
to be judging our neighbors
when we should have died.
