Sinners

The blameless

What a sight to see

With their heads held high

Walking with dignity

What pride they wear

When forced to bear

The weakness and err

Of us sinners down here

When they get to the gate

And come face to face

Maybe that’s when they’ll see

They, too, needed grace

“When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Matthew 9:11-13
