When we are hurt, should we return the blow?
Our God of love, in mercy, tell us, "No."
So when we're struck we'll turn the other cheek.
An extra mile we'll walk, of Christ to speak.

To hate our foes: 'Tis logical, it seems.
But Christ has told us, "Love unto extremes!"
Our love must go to every one alive.
For in Christ's peace God wills us all to thrive.

All those who work, their wages must be paid.
The blind, the deaf, must never be unmade:
For as ourselves, our neighbors we must love!
And for this task comes strength from God above.
