Even the Good Will Be Judged
Even good persons will be judged for their character
for not having done enough when they could have,
ah, the judgment of the condemned will be harsher;
some believe it's a bluff, and they continue to misbehave.
There are different ways of giving,
it depends on how a heart is feeling,
the most generous give abundantly
and those less kind give meagerly.
Then who should be judged harshly?
The ones who give out of their kindness,
and are motived by the eagerness,
or those who are cold and show no mercy?
In the eyes of God generosity is delightful
when a hungry mouth devours a meal and is full;
be generous and give away some of your riches...
if abundance has blessed you beyond expectations.
Even good people will be judged for their character,
they might be humble, but their joy is undeniable;
everybody doubts that opening hearts has its rewards...
won't they feel a tenderness that is louder than cheer?
