Love for Enemies

Your rain falls on the wicked ones
And those seek your way
Your kindness waters all of us
Who grow beneath your grace

You lend without a hope of gain
And give to all who ask
Your love is not a scarcity
Your mercy holds us fast

You reached across the great divide
In drawing near to us
Teach us to cross our battle lines
And face our foes with love

To love the ones who loved us first
Is fine and commonplace
But love that asks for nothing back
Reflects the Father's face

Then let us to practice charity
And lay our judgement down
Till enemies are understood
And empathy is found

You reached across the great divide
In drawing near to us
Teach us to cross our battle lines
And face our foes with love

You found us when we lost our way
Recalled when we forgot
When we were foes you sent your Son
To be all that we're not
