DARE HOLD NO GRUDGE

by Stan C. Countz

VERSE 1
Before the throne of time and space we kneel with bated breath
We see the signs of law and grace, of God and hate and death
Each breath we breathe I do believe could lead us to success
But no one knows where spirit goes; all we can do is guess

CHORUS
Dare hold no grudge before the judge
Who sits upon the throne
Lest we be left, alone, bereft
With hearts as cold as stone
All we know is what we’ve been told
We’ll reap just what we’ve sown
Dare hold no grudge before the judge
Who sits upon the throne

VERSE 2
Each moment brings so many things; I just hope we pass the test
Some heed the call, some lead, some fall, some are just obsessed
Pawns and kings must don their wings and leave their earthly nest
No one knows where spirit goes or where the soul will rest

VERSE 3
Before I pass I’d like to ask a plain and simple question
How are we supposed to meet your standard of perfection?
Were the ten commandments supposed to be the ten suggestions?
Before you tell me any more, I have a quick confession

CHORUS/OUTRO
Dare hold no grudge before the judge
Who sits upon the throne
Lest we be left, betrayed, bereft
With hearts as cold as stone
All we know is what we’ve been told
We’ll reap just what we’ve sown
Dare hold no grudge before the judge
Who sits upon the throne
