Responsibility

There's a word that some folks do not know, nor will ever see.
It's a word that's so important:  Responsibility!
It's possible to live and not put it into play,
But you aren't doing yourself a service by keeping it that way.

Too many people can't admit the errors that they've made.
The blame for everything they do, to others is conveyed.
"It's not my fault; it's his, or hers..." they continue to insist
And the act of being responsible, is totally dismissed.

God wants us to be able to admit the things we do...
To be accountable for all those things and then to start anew.
We can't move on until we have reconciled the past
And we can't do that till we admit the errors we've amassed.

And if we keep making excuses for all the things we've done,
We're not following the will of God and His most precious Son.
It really isn't all that hard to own up to it all,
And if you do, you know that you are answering God's call.

We're responsible for all the choices we make every day;
Some distinctly black, or white, but others simply gray.
And if there's some we know were bad, let's just admit it with remorse,
Knowing when we face the truth we stay truer to our course.
