Fighting Evil - v2




Fighting evil, with love,
fighting aggression, with forgiveness
fighting injustice, with resolve
fighting with love, not rage

Changing our hearts, to model Christ
changing to walk more humbly
changing our definitions, loving our enemies
changing our roles, as servants of God

Living lives of compassion and caring
living more and more, as a child of God
living in the world, but not of this earth
living today for our eternal life
