Stop Hurting Me



I know you don't mean to do it...
and I forgive you for your lack of insight.
But when you tell me negative things
about yourself and others,
well...
it just isn't right.

You're setting me up to form ideas and judgments
based on your own personal perceptions,
Imprinting thoughts that could create
undeserved rejections.

We are all God's children by right of divine election,
each one coming from a slightly different direction.
Each one with our own developing comprehension.
What's right for them,
may be wrong for you.
but God gave everyone the freedom to choose.
Don't sow anything that isn't good news.

Please be careful how you unburden your soul,
because what you say to me plays a major roll.
Some things you tell me
may interfere with my heavenly goals.
Don't tell me thing's I shouldn't know.

Don't give me information
that cause's me to misjudge,
or tidbits about yourself,
or others.
that aren't based in love.
I'm only human,
my discernment isn't always from above.
When you plant negative things in my head,
I become a victim of your fears and doubts,
and that's not what sharing is all about.

God is good...
God is great...
let us thank Him for His grace...
for righteous yet we surly ain't.
