Please Stop

Those who sin on purpose,
May I have a word with you?
Why quickly judge your brother
When in secret, you sin too?

Why take My love for granted?
Why sin, when you know wrong?
I wait for you to stop.
I’ve waited for so long.

I have mercy on all sinners,
And more for who don’t know;
Christians are judged more strictly -
They know of self-control.

My children, every time you sin,
I'm flogged again once more;
Why take My love for granted?
Is this what I died for?
