Jesus Said
"Love your enemies
Do good to them that hate you,
Bless them that curse you,
Pray for them that despitefully use you"
Could you? Would you?
Call someone up today
Knowing hard feelings exist.
Could you call them and say
"I'd like to say I'm sorry
And put the past behind.
I'd like to be your friend, again
I'm sure the fault was mine."
Or if you met a stranger,
Whose ways were oh, so crude;
Who cursed you needlessly,
Was vulgar and really rude-
Could you? would you?
Silently say a prayer,
Asking Jesus to bless him now
Because you really care?
Are you truly inspired by God's love
To repay bad deeds with good,
All because you want what's right
And not just because you should?
Could you? would you?
Let God completely, guide your way,
Then this wonderful way of life
Becomes your pattern for each day
