There But For the Grace…

Luke 10:27-37; Matthew 22:39

There but for the Grace of God – Go I,
These words I’ve often wondered why?

How can the murderer, prostitute, drunk be me!
Look deeper friend and you will see.

There but for the Grace – Go you or I,
And so you ask the question … Why?

That same question asked to the Master long ago,
Who is my neighbor? – Explain it so…

That I may know just who they are,
Are they near or are they far.

Love your neighbor as yourself, the great command,
My neighbor is myself, now I understand.

The inner being created just like me,
No differences that I can see!

I could be them – But for the Grace,
I see myself within every face.

I look into the souls of men,
I see myself reflected within,

So you are me and I am you,
From one God, one source, one family grew.

Compassion swells, I now know why,
There but for the Grace of God – Go I.

– Conversation with Mr. Gene Wideman
