What is Right and What is Wrong?
By: Susan Y Nikitenko

What is right and what is wrong?
That is the question I ask.
Every day, all day long.
Confusion, all around us;
Troublesome choices to make.
Asking direction from God;
Which direction to take.
Forming the right opinions,
Making the right choice, you see,
Pleasing my Lord and Savior;
That is important to me.
For the first time I'm questioning;
For the first time I feel blind.
I wonder how many others;
Have trouble finding that fine line.
At times our faith is tested.
At times our faith appears small.
At times were left a wond'ring;
Do we really know much at all?
Should we be up front and honest;
Or leave one believing a lie.
Cause we're afraid to offend one;
We back off and choose to be shy?
What is right and what is wrong?
That is the question I ask.
Every day, all day long.
If my hair was just a mess;
Or my shirt on inside out.
I'd hope someone would tell me;
Even if it made me pout.
Then I'd take the time to fix it;
I'd make the wrong, then right.
Cause sometimes we have a blind side;
And are blinded to our blight.
If my child was in a sin trap,
Or lay sickly, near to death.
I'd hope someone would tell me;
Instead of leaving me to guess.
Tell the truth in love because;
The truth has power to free.
Tell the truth in love because;
It enables one to see.
What is right and what is wrong?
That is the question I ask.
Every day, all day long.
If I had the remedy
That cured lepers from their spots
But just slumbered back silently
In my own life and own thoughts
Would that be called merciful?
Would that be considered kind?
Leaving that poor sickly one
In their sickness, there behind?
If I knew of a danger
That would hurt a passer by
Would I keep my lips sealed
Even though I knew they'd die?
The Bible teaches there's a hell to fear
Will our lips warn ev'ry man?
The Bible warns us God will judge
Will we follow His command?
What is right and what is wrong?
That is the question I ask.
Every day, all day long.
