His Command
Love My Neighbor
Love my neighbor; Your words are clear,
But which of ‘them’ do I hold dear?
Not those with whom I am annoyed,
nor those who I do not enjoy.
To You I can’t be insincere.
Yet as I read Your words I fear
these are the people You would steer
me, draw to openly with joy.
Love my neighbor.
Oh, Christ, it truly does appear
my enemies You would endear.
All thoughts of neighbor You destroy
which formerly did I employ.
To Your good will I now adhere:
Love my neighbor.
