The calling to love
to be a good neighbor
unbound by any dividing line
because Christ tore them down
Everyone we meet
everyone alive
all of them our neighbor
to be loved, in God’s eyes
How much differently
would we really act
if we measured the world
by this commandment of God
Not just the generic words
the easy text of the law
but living these words
in the chaos of the world
In those dark roads
where we truly fear to tread
in the back alleys and ditches
on the fringe of our lives
Further yet, all around the globe
people crying out in suffering
how often we fail to heed
our savior’s call
Love remaining,
for God and for man
all encompassing
in servanthood, agape love
grace to our fellow man
