When Hate Claims Christ’s Name – v2
Nothing Christian
nothing of Jesus
of the One who descended
who walked as a man
Nothing of Jesus
who suffered, who died
who bore our cross
who told us to love all
We are to love
our sisters, our brothers
those unlike us
the least and the lost
When hate claims Christ’s name
hurting his people
his ministry here
the hope of the nations
Nothing of Jesus
in hate, injustice
in setting peoples apart
spreading fear, anger
Stand with Jesus
against hate, injustice
speak out against them
for they are not Christian
Nothing of Christ
in burning a cross
nothing Christian in this,
especially in the Deep South
