In the words of the sermon,
words of love on the mountainside;
seeds of the words, his actions,
his choosing the cross
The savior loving his enemies,
those who would persecute;
knowing the weight of his sacrifice,
the difference he could make
Choosing the pain, the shame
the nails on the cross;
bringing reconciliation, life eternal
hope for all of mankind
Choosing to love, freely
even those who would spit in his face;
an example for the ages
to all who claim His name
