do you know who you are

as you stand and proclaim

do you know what I can see

so busy declaring

and judging afar

so certain

of all that should be

a heart that I touched

a long time ago

a heart that was

meant for Me

your shoulders are back

you’re standing so tall

straining for all to see

all that I’ve wanted

was mercy be found

in what you think

and say and do

standing afar

beating your chest

knowing there’s nothing

you can do

choosing to live

shoulder to shoulder

rather than casting them down

this is My mercy

I’ve given to you

remember to spread it around

Luke 18:9-14
