Examine self ...

Jas 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,

he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

Jas 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way,

and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was ...

 

 

You have no right to search me for I am just like you

I like my flaws much better than the lost in the gutter

Don’t you preach to me for I can prove what is true

I search the bible oft while you just go on and mutter

 

Behind a hardened surface the contents is like jelly

and the lid that’s on my jar has been sealed from air

Even the Spirit and His purpose won’t get into my belly

For my life far below par but seems reasonable and fair
