higher than the law – v2

We misread scripture
the words of Christ himself
Christ did not diminish
He did not destroy the law
calling us to follow
higher than the law
to love our neighbors
as he loved us
focused on our own hearts
not to judge our neighbors
even our thoughts convict us
causing us to stumble
to fall short of the living God
making us aware of our clay
our need for his sacrifice
He is the only path
to life, to paradise
