Matthew 5:43-48
Jesus tells us, clearly plainly
love our enemies
Not just friends or neighbors
that is easy, anyone
Can do the loving of those
we hold close and dear
But love the ones we disagree
with, the ones we don't see
Eye to eye, the ones we don't
want to touch or talk to
The ones we have labeled as
against us instead of for us
Because God sends the sun
for those who are good
And those who are not, God
sends life-giving rain
To both the right and wrong
why can you not send
Welcome, goodness to both to
isn't this our call
