Theif by Janet Martin © 2009 Today I stole somebody's joy By my selfish, thoughtless deed, I ignored their feelings To satisfy my wicked need, I think I called it 'justified' And now I'm so ashamed, Their motives I misunderstood, Unjustly then, I blamed Imagine if my Savior Had looked with spite on me, And in disgust had turned away And never set me free, Instead He simply loved me, Should I not do the same? Shine forth a kinder spirit If I wish to wear His name We all are sinful creatures So prone to make mistakes, But we must never seek revenge No matter what it takes, But just as Christ shows mercy, We must show mercy too, Forgive and love each other As He would have us do |
