[Luke 6: 27-29a - Esv]
"But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To the one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also... " - (Jesus Christ)
[Sevin: Hook]
I don't need you to hate me
I've been doing enough of that lately
Just pray for my soul (x2)
[Sevin: Verse 1]
Father forgive'em, for they
Know not what they do or say
If Your favor ain't on my labor
It may as well fade away
& they say that they the Church but they done curse me
They desert me, man it hurts me
I pray for mercy, seems like it made it worse
Say I'm thirsty, they serve me dirt
& say I do Satan's work
I still love them through the suffering
You're the One they hated first
You were blameless
They called You every single name in the book
You show me how to withstand it through all the pain that You took
& they say I don't know You
But they don't know the dirt that I came from
They don't see the pain that I go through
Two different worlds but we circle the same Son
[Luke 6: 31-32 - Esv]
"Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back, and as you wish that others would do to you do so to them... " - (Jesus Christ)
[Hook]
[Sevin: Verse 2]
Lord I'm gonna need Your touch to keep my heart open wide
Can only take it so much; I'm so scared up inside
Can't get caught up in pride
I don't know why... don't deserve
Anything but to die... but You gave me Your Word
They just wait 'till I'm hurt
Then they move into kill
They don't care for me
But they swear that they're doing Your will! (Your will)
& they say I don't know who
But they don't know the dirt that I come from... (they don't know)
They don't see the pain that I go through... (they can't see)
Two different worlds and we circle the same Son... (circle the same Son)
[Luke 6: 32-38 - Esv]
"If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful
"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. " - (Jesus Christ)
