Tonart: C major
Intro 1
C
Verse 1
C
Don't shoot the wounded,
they need us more than ever
They need our love
no matter what it is they've done
F
Sometimes we just condemn them
and don't take time to hear their story
G
Don't shoot the wounded,
C
someday you might be one
It's easy to love the people
who are standing hard and fast
Pressing on to meet that higher calling
F
But the ones who might be struggling
We tend to judge too harshly
And refuse to try and catch them
when they're falling
G
We put people into boxes
And we draw our hard conclusions
And when they do the things
we know they should not do
C
we sometimes write them off as hopeless
F
and we throw them to the dogs
G
our compassion and forgiveness
sometimes seem in short supply
C
so I say don't shoot the wounded
they need us more than ever
they need our love
no matter what it is they've done
F
sometimes we just condemn them
and don't take time to hear their story
G
don't shoot the wounded
C
someday you might be one
We can love them and forgive them
when their sin does not
exceed our own.
For we too have been down
bumpy roads before.
F
But when they commit offenses
outside the boundaries we have set,
we judge them in a word
and we turn them out and
we close the door.
G
Myself, I've been forgiven
for so many awful things.
I've been cleansed and washed
and bathed so many times
C
that when I see a brother
F
who has fallen from the way,
G
I just can't find the license
to convict him of his crimes
C
So I say, don't shoot the wounded
They need us more than ever
They need our love
no matter what it is they've done
F
Sometimes we just condemn them
And don't take time to hear their story
G
Don't shoot the wounded
C
Someday you might be one
That doesn't mean we
turn our heads
When we see a brother sin
and pretend that what he's
doing is all right.
F
But we must help him see his error,
and we must lead him to repent,
to cry with those who cry,
to bring their deeds into the light.
G
For it's the sick that need the doctor,
and it's the lame that need the crutch.
It's the prodigal
who needs the loving hand.
C
For a man who's in despair,
there should be kind
the fear of Almighty God
and turn away from God and man.
C
So I say, don't shoot the wounded
They need us more than ever
They need our love
no matter what it is they've done
F
Sometimes we just condemn them
And don't take time to hear their story
G
Don't shoot the wounded
C
F
C
F
Someday you might be one
G
C
They need us more than ever
They need our love
no matter what it is they've done
F
Sometimes we just condemn them,
don't take time to hear their story
G
Don't shoot for wounded
C
F
Someday you might be one
G
