Judgemental
The journey’s almost over with Bethlehem in sight
All they have to do is find a bedroom for the night!
It shouldn’t be too difficult with all Joe’s folk in town.
That’s not the way it turned out as they wandered up and
down!
Perhaps the rooms were given to the first ones to the gate
And Joseph and his Mary arrived there far too late?
Perhaps they knew that Mary was in the family way
And also knew that they had not yet had their wedding day?
I’m sure that if they wanted to their kin could find a room
Not leave the couple wandering round in the gathering gloom!
Can we too be judgemental? Do we also turn our backs
On people we consider whose morals are too lax?
Suffice to say that someone took pity on the pair
And brought them to a stable out of the open air.
Of course it’s not the Hilton or even very clean
But it was in that humble place the miracle was seen.
Lord help me dump my prejudice and lend a helping hand
Even to those people whom I’ll never understand.
