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 one who strikes you on the cheek
offer the other also.
(Hook 2x)
I don't need you to hate me,
I've been doing enough of that lately,
just pray for my soul.
(Verse 1)
Father forgive them,
for they know not what they do or say.
If Your favoring on my labor
we may as well fade away,
and 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 thristy they serve me
dirt and say I do Satan's work,
I still love them through the
suffering your 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.
And they say that 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.
(Scirpture Luke 6:30-31)
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.
(Hook 2x)
I don't need you to hate me,
I've been doing enough of that lately,
just pray for my soul.
(Verse 2)
Lord I'm gonna need Your touch,
to keep my heart open wide,
can only take it so much,
I'm so scarred up inside.
And get caught up in pride,
I know I don't deserve anything but to die,
but You gave me Your Word,
they just wait til I'm
hurt then they move in to kill.
They don't care for me but
they swear they are doing
Your Will... Your Will... And
they say that I don't know You,
but they don't know the dirt that
I come from, they don't see the
pain that I go through,
two different worlds
but we circle the same
(Scirpture Luke 6:32-38)
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 to the same.
And if you lend to those
who 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, lend expecting
nothing in return; and your
reward will be great,
and you'll be sons of the Most High:
for he is kind to the ungrateful
and the evil. Be merciful,
even 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.
(Hook 2x)
I don't need you to hate me,
I've been doing enough of that lately,
just pray for my soul.
