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.
