Don’t shoot the wounded – Chuck Girard Dont shoot the wounded, they need us more than ever They need our love no matter what it is theyve done Sometimes we just condemn them And dont take time to hear their story Dont shoot the wounded, someday you might be one Its easy to love the people who are standing hard and fast Pressing on to meet that higher calling But the ones who might be struggling, we tend to judge too harshly And refuse to try and catch them when theyre falling We put people into boxes and we draw our hard conclusions And when they do the things we know they should not do We sometimes write them off as hopeless And we throw them to the dogs Our compassion and forgiveness sometimes seem in short supply We can love them and forgive them When their sin does not exceed our own For we too have been down bumpy roads before But when they commit offenses outside the boundaries we have set We judge them in a word and we turn them out And we close the door Myself Ive been forgiven for so many awful things Ive been cleansed and washed and bathed so many times That when I see a brother who has fallen from the way I just cant find the license to convict him of his crimes That doesnt mean we turn our heads when we see a brother sin And pretend that what hes doing is all right But we must help him see his error, we must lead him to repent Cry with those who cry, but bring their deeds into the light For its the sick that need the doctor and its the lame that need the crutch Its the prodigal who needs the loving hand For a man whos in despair, there should be Kindness from his friends Lest he should forsake the fear of almighty God And turn away from God and man So I say..dont shoot the wounded... youtube/watch?v=mHt_S3ed7DM
