By evil, but overcome evil
With good"
I witnessed a fight yesterday
At a restaurant
Oh, it wasn't a fist fight
Just a verbal one
But it was ugly
An argument about
The tea being bad
And I thought wow
All this fuss over tea?
No wonder they can't
Get along in Jerusalem!
But "vengeance is mine
I will repay" says The Lord
And "so far as it depends on you
Live at peace with everyone"
We love a good fight
We human creatures
Some of us are looking for one
All the time
Of course overcoming evil
With good is impossible
Without God
And Christian community
(The church)
Even then it's no cake walk
O Lord, this is one of your
Hardest commands
Help us pray enough
And love each other enough
And let your Spirit dwell in us enough
To live this peace
That you offer to us
In the name of the One
Who brings peace
Amen
