SELF-RIGHTEOUS! <\/p>\n

The world is full of so many sinners,
\nSomeone should talk to those folks,
\nThey’re all such losers, not winners.
\nI’m so glad I’m not like those blokes.<\/p>\n

Oh what a self-righteous perspective,
\nTo think you’re better than the rest,
\nPerhaps you need God’s corrective,
\nWould you even pass His moral test?<\/p>\n

Please note that all are born in sin,
\nThere’s none righteous upon the Earth,
\nBut through Christ’s Blood we can win,
\nFor through Him we receive our worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
