Won't Can't Don't

I can't live

If I live a lie

I won't accept

To never try

I don't smile

Creating strife

I won't judge

Another's life

I don't envy

What isn't mine

I can't hate

Or cross that line

I won't mock

Inflicting shame

I don't accuse

And falsly blame

I won't watch

Someone in need

I can't ignore

What I can feed

I don't thrive

On others pain

I won't cheat

For my own gain

I can't deny

To do what's right

I won't be bitter

Condemn or spite

I won't act haughty

Gossip or boast

I don't believe

I'm better than most

I won't deny

I'm saved by grace

And it is God

Who I must face

My heart is changed

And forevermore

I won't, can't , don't

Do what I did before
