We are to Love like Christ

None in judgment,
none of these cast out
all our sisters, our brothers
children in this walk

We speak of the greatest commandments
what Christ spoke to us
to love our God completely
to love our neighbors as ourselves

But we miss an important lesson
the rest of what he said, how he lived
not all the chapters, the verses
but the new commandment to us

To love one another,
all people on the earth
to love as Christ loves us
giving his life on the cross

We are to love like Christ
of this there is no doubt
we are called to love all people
all children here on earth
