This poem is dedicated to George W. Bush and anyone else who decides to take vengence into there own hands.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Is this the way, does this give life, is this really the truth?
Judgement and wrath, condemnation and fear
Can you really say; fall to your knees, Jesus is near?
The words of our mouth speak the meditation of our heart
Jesus said we would be known by our love; that is what sets us apart
Put your heart out in your hand and ask the Master what is inside
Let Him pour in the oil and wine that was poured out from our Savior's pierced side
Let Him be the potter and you be the clay
Be humble and trust Him; let Him have His way
Then things that are pure and honest and of good report will just naturally shine forth from you
Lovingkindness, gentleness, compassion and mercy will be rulers over all that you do
Oh how pleasing this will be to the Master above
To see the ones He has chosen walking in His perfect love
This greatest gift of all will conquer anything
Ask and you shall receive a new heart fit for a King
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Is this the way, does this give life, is this really the truth?
Judgement and wrath, condemnation and fear
Can you really say; fall to your knees, Jesus is near?
The words of our mouth speak the meditation of our heart
Jesus said we would be known by our love; that is what sets us apart
Put your heart out in your hand and ask the Master what is inside
Let Him pour in the oil and wine that was poured out from our Savior's pierced side
Let Him be the potter and you be the clay
Be humble and trust Him; let Him have His way
Then things that are pure and honest and of good report will just naturally shine forth from you
Lovingkindness, gentleness, compassion and mercy will be rulers over all that you do
Oh how pleasing this will be to the Master above
To see the ones He has chosen walking in His perfect love
This greatest gift of all will conquer anything
Ask and you shall receive a new heart fit for a King
