Because We All Fall...

We all fall;

Suffer grief, shame and hurt

We should never kick another

Lying in the dirt

But kneel with compassion

Lend a loving hand

Because we all fall and therefore

We understand

We all fall;

Not the skin-the-knee-kind

But that broken heart, broken spirit

Broken mind

There is not one among us

Clean on our own

Because we all fall; none are qualified

To throw the first stone

 We all fall;

Still, we are mercy-shod

Therefore we can all get up again

But by the grace of God
