Lyrics
Do I judge someone who?s poor
As someone lesser than myself
Do I see my enemies
As having no escape from hell
Or do I pray for their redemption
That someday they will be free
You know some how it really matters,
It?s all coming back to me?all coming back to me
Chorus:
The measure you use will be used to measure you
The judgments you choose for others will come back to you
On that coming day of reckoning when we all will need mercy
The measure you use is gonna measure you
We?re the clay, He?s the Potter
This world is His spinning wheel
He loves us perfectly?like the father
It doesn?t matter how we feel
If I forgive men?s trespasses
Our God forgive mine too
But if I hold forgiveness from them
I?ll be the one to lose, I?ll be the one to lose
(Chorus)
Oh the measure you use is gonna measure you
