Love for Enemies

V1:
Your rain falls on the wicked ones
And those seek your way
Your kindness waters all of us
Who grow beneath your grace
V2:
You lend without a hope of gain
And give to all who ask
Your love is not a scarcity
Your mercy holds us fast
C:
You reached across the great divide
In drawing near to us
Teach us to cross our battle lines
And face our foes with love
V3:
To love the ones who loved us first
Is fine and commonplace
But love that asks for nothing back
Reflects the Father’s face
V4:
Then let us to practice charity
And lay our judgement down
Till enemies are understood
And empathy is found
C:
V5:
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

One and the Same

Most holy Son of God, incarnate for us,
you set a table in our midst
for the one who loved, the one who sold you out,
the one who lied and ran away.
Without one or the other
it would not be complete.
You invite us to this table,
one and the same.
Most holy Son of Man, you’ve broken for us
your bread and body, wine and blood
for the ones who seek, the ones who sought your end,
the ones who mourned the dying day.
Without criminals and robbers,
hanging justly accused,
we might miss your forgiveness
of one and the same.
Most holy Prince of Peace, stooped down on a knee
to wash the feet of your friends;
the ones who knew not yet what you would do
to prove the depth of your love.
If not for blinded disciples
we may not know the tale.
Scales fall down as our eyes open,
one and the same.

Our Father in heaven,
holy & true, your name.
Your kingdom come soon,
your will be done here,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us our daily bread.
Forgive us all these debts
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Don’t lead us to the trial
but save us from ourselves,
as we forgive.
For yours is the glory.
For yours is the dream.
For yours is the kingdom.
Lead us into your hope.
