Grace and Mercy

We are putting each other down

in thoughts and words each day

treating others like they don't matter

in so many ways

We talk about who we don't like

and those who've done us wrong

we see the bad in their hearts

we don't give of ourselves for them

In fact we'd rather stay far apart



When we love

with the love of Jesus

grace and mercy can flow through

and love will prove

to be the greatest thing we do

Let us love one another

in thoughts and words

in all we do

reach out for each other

with the love that God has shown to you



Be kind, tenderhearted, forgiving

with humility and patience

bear with one another in love

lift each other up

Jesus taught us

to serve others

and to lay our life down

He has told us

You treat others

as you would like

for them to treat you



When we love

with the love of Jesus

grace and mercy can flow through

and love will prove

to be the greatest thing we do

Let us love one another

in thoughts and words

in all we do

reach out for each other

with the love that God has shown to you

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Caught up looking for what is wrong and bad in others.  I feel I have been taught this somehow . . .
to focus on, talk about and live by the bad I find in others.
Taught to put others down
taught to treat unkindly those who I think are unkind . . .
