Judge me if you must.
Accuse me if you will.
Yourself excuse so easily.
Yet, so easy you accuse me still.

But you should know!
I judge myself more harshly
Than you could ever do.

God judges me so kindly;
Much, much more than you.
He has the right and cause.
Knows my past and future I will do.
So why does God forgive me so.
Because – He is not you.

I should not be forgiven.
I will give you that!
My heart meant well.
I’m sorry that I fell.
And I know I will again.

God forgives me – easy to believe.
Less easy to believe – that you forgive me too.
Hardest thing – to forgive myself.
Not easy to find a cure.
Sometimes I can, God helps me too,
Forgive myself for sure.

Thank God!
I judge myself more harshly
Than God says He will do!
