Matthew 5:6

I know I’m right!
Anyone who is sane knows I’m right!
I see through sober lenses.
I hear through open senses.

I know I’m right!
My giving proves loyalty.
My serving shows charity.
My living shines purity.

I know I’m right…

…just like Peter,
who knew he would never deny the Lord;
…like James and John,
who knew they were equipped for suffering;
…and like Judas,
who knew his thirst was for righteousness.

Painting, “The Remorse of Judas,” by Edward Armitage (1817-1896)
