CUT FROM THE WORD:

© 1998 by Lydia Glider-Shelley
Chorus:
Judge not, lest ye be judged, these are the words you should know!
Judge not, lest ye be judged, Jesus is telling you so!
He said “heal the sick, give alms to the poor,
believe in me, and knock on the door.
Help your brother out, ‘cause you can”:
Put your faith in God, never in man!
(repeat chorus)

If you’re in a glass house, don’t throw a stone!
Learn how to love or you’ll be alone.
Don’t bury your talent or you’ll lose what you’ve got!
Learn how to give: time brings decay and rot!
Chorus 2:
Judge not, lest ye be judged, these are the words you should know!
Judge not, lest ye be judged, Jesus is telling us so!
He who is hungry, let him be fed!
Go visit prisoners, and those sick in bed!
Give your coat to a man if he asks:
Give your shirt to him too, if you have more than he has!
(repeat chorus 2)
Blessed are you poor: yours is the kingdom of God!
And you that are hungry will be satisfied!
Blessed are you who weep, now you will laugh:
And one day He’ll dry all the tears that you have cried!
Blessed are you when men hate you,
Exclude you, insult you, and smear your name…
Call you evil or wicked ‘cause of what you believe
When everything they do it the same…

Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy!
You will be rewarded for what you went through:
When the world treats you poorly, just remember:
They will all get what they deserve too!
Woe to the rich who already have theirs,
And those who are full now, but will not always be!
Woe to the one whose laughter is scorn:
One day he will do nothing but mourn…
And weep for eternity!

Woe unto you whom men praise too highly:
Deceivers are often held in such esteem…
No one ever wants to believe a prophet
When he says he’s seen the world’s end in a dream…

Love your enemies, no matter what:
Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, Pray for those who abuse you, And turn the other cheek: the earth is the inheritance of the meek!
Give to all who ask of you, and do not expect return!
Treat all others like you’d like to be treated:
So they’ll learn!
(repeat chorus 2)
It’s so easy to love those who love you: anyone can do that!
And to be good to those good to you is not very hard, in fact.
Even evil men will lend to those who pay!
But if you give freely, joy will come your way:
And you will find true inner peace with the lessons you learn to release!
Seek and ye shall find: ask a question when you want to know!
Keep God’s Word in mind
so you can show his love
everywhere you go...

He gives rest to the weary, and his comfort is always there… When those around you prove they just don’t really care!
(repeat chorus 2)
tag: Yes, Jesus is telling us so!
