Oh, oh, oh…
Tell me, who are you to judge me?
You see my mistakes, but you don't know my story.
Before you condemn me, look into your heart.
Have you never fallen, needed a brand-new start?
They put me in a box and called me a failure,
Closed every door, made my life harder.
They spread my story from street to street,
But no one asked what I faced, what broke me.
They watched me fall and laughed at my pain,
Saw me cry alone in the rain.
I made mistakes; I won't deny,
But must my dreams now die?
I've carried burdens, swallowed pride,
Fought silent battles with tears inside.
Though the world says my story is done,
I believe tomorrow has just begun.
Don't condemn me, don't condemn me,
I'm still a human being, can't you see?
I may be broken, but I'm not gone,
By the grace of God, I'll carry on.
Don't condemn me, don't condemn me,
Who are you to judge my destiny?
Today I'm down, tomorrow I'll rise,
There's still a little hope behind these eyes.
Oh, oh, oh, have mercy on me!
Some condemn you because you are poor,
See worn-out clothes and close every door.
They measure your worth by what you own,
Never asking how you survived alone.
Some condemn a prisoner who's served his time,
Refusing to let him rebuild his life.
Some condemn a woman who's lost her way,
Forgetting she still deserves a brighter day.
If we reject everyone who's fallen,
Who will answer when their hearts are calling?
We need less hatred, a little more love,
More compassion from the Father above.
The hand that points at another's shame
May one day need that kindness just the same.
Don't condemn me, don't condemn me,
I'm still a human being, can't you see?
I may have fallen, but I'll rise again,
The sun will break through all this rain.
Mama, don't cry; your child is still breathing,
Even if the whole world has stopped believing.
To the one in prison, don't surrender your dream,
Your life still matters, more than it seems.
To the rejected, don't surrender your pride,
A better road waits on the other side.
You are not your worst mistake,
You're more than the pain you carry.
Stand up slowly, wipe your tears,
Face tomorrow and conquer your fears.
The road may be rough, the journey long,
But you can still grow strong.
Lead: Who has never made a mistake?

Lead: Who has never needed grace?

Lead: What should we give the fallen?
Response: Hope and love, let mercy keep calling!
I will not condemn you; I'll lend you a hand,
Help you find your feet and learn to stand.
I won't spread your story to deepen your shame,
I'll lift your heart and call you by name.
Yesterday's mistakes need not define today,
With courage, you can find your way.
Correct those who err; let justice be fair,
But never forget that every soul needs care.
Don't condemn me, don't condemn me,
I'm still a human being, can't you see?
I may have stumbled, but I'll rise again,
With faith in my heart, I'll overcome the pain.
Don't condemn me, give me a chance,
Let hope and mercy lead me to dance.
If God shows mercy, who are we to say
A broken soul must be thrown away?
Correct people when they are wrong.
Hold them accountable, but don't destroy their humanity.
The person you condemn today may rise tomorrow.
Let us replace hatred with understanding,
Rejection with compassion,
And condemnation with a second chance.
Because nobody is perfect, and every life has value.
Oh, Lord, teach us to show mercy!
The condemned can rise again!
