To speak in love (Vol 2 No 73)
To speak in love (Vol 2 No 73)
To speak in love is Jesus’ way
To stop revenge, dispel dismay;
He would not teach, would not obey
All unjust dictates of his day.
To speak in love is seen as weak
By those who seek to crush the meek;
But strength is born in those who speak
For voiceless ones who mutely shriek.
To speak in love and not by force
Connects with virtue at its source;
And Jesus would, we know, endorse
Our dealings when they take love’s course.
To speak in love but not be wild
When we are shunned and feel exiled
Can re-unite a parent, child;
Oh, what the joy when reconciled.
It is not weak but truly strong
To speak in love when faced with wrong;
In all our deeds and words we long
To speak in love. This is our song.
