Our Call

Will I be silenced
  in my call to love?
Do I have license
  from somewhere above?

If people don't care
  as I think they should,
would it then be fair
  to not act so good?

If they ignore me,
  despite my good will,
or they abhor me
  as mentally ill.

If, in all of this,
  I'm hated and spurned,
I pray I'll not miss
  this lesson I've learned..

Christ was rejected,
  despised by all men,
still he subjected
  Himself for our sin.

He loved us despite
  our hatred for Him,
so we have no right
  to let our love dim.

We should love others
  as He has loved all..
Sisters and brothers,
  yes- this is our call.
