You may have heard men say
Love your neighbor; hate your enemy.
Our Master knew a kinder way:
Love your enemies, include them
Each time you pause to pray,
So you may prove yourself a daughter or son
Of your Father, the heavenly One.
For God sends the showers,
And the sun to warm the day,
On those who are good, and love Him,
And on those who have gone astray.
Your love knows no limit,
For God’s love is infinite.
