A song about recognizing our tendency to judge others even though we have no right to.

lyrics

I talked to Jesus
and he told me I was wrong
about everything that I had ever known
I heard the Holy Ghost
He whispered in my heart
and he showed me every sin that I had done

All the lies, all the greed
All the war that I had waged
against my friends and enemies
And oh, I’ll never see
That no one else is perfect
‘Til I recognize my own humanity

I saw the Father
and he looked me in the eyes
And I witnessed the forgiveness on his face
He said, “In spite of what you do,
I love you all the same.
'Cause that is the significance of grace.”

All your lies, all the greed
All the war that we have waged
against our friends and enemies
But oh, we’ll never see
That none of us are perfect
‘Til we recognize our own humanity

I felt the Devil,
and he tried to do me wrong
Yeah, Satan tried deceiving me again
He showed me all the sins
of everyone I knew
'Cause maybe I’m not quite as bad as them

All their lies, all their greed
All the war that they have waged
Against their friends and enemies
All the sex, all the drugs,
All the pride that they achieve
All the pain that they have forced
on their entire families

But oh, we have to see
That no one else is perfect
and we’ll all just go berserk
and then we’ll never make it work
unless we recognize our own humanity

I talked to Jesus
and I told him I was wrong
About everything that I had ever known
