Brother’s Keeper Songtext
von Rich Mullins

"Now the plummer′s got a drip in his spigot
The mechanic's got a clank in his car
And the preacher′s thinking thoughts that are wicked
And the lover's got a lonely heart
My friends ain't the way I wish they were
They are just the way they are

And I will be my brother′s keeper
Not the one who judges him
I won′t despise him for his weakness
I won't regard him for his strength
I won′t take away his freedom
I will help him learn to stand
And I will ~ I will be my brother's keeper


Now this roof has got a few missing shingles
But at least we got ourselves a roof
And they say that she′s a fallen angel
I wonder if she recalls when she last flew
There's no point in pointing fingers
Unless you′re pointing to the truth

And I will be my brother's keeper
Not the one who judges him
I won't despise him for his weakness
I won′t regard him for his strength
I won′t take away his freedom
I will help him learn to stand
And I will ~ I will be my brother's keeper

I will be my brother′s keeper
Not the one who judges him
I won't despise him for his weakness
I won′t regard him for his strength
I won't take away his freedom
I will help him learn to stand
And I will ~ I will be my brother′s keeper"
