By love, not by hate
with light, the word,
piercing the darkness
tyranny, oppression
false truth, scales,
falling down
Such was the way of Christ
the way of disciples
following His example
down to this age, Martin
non-violent resistance
in the face of injustice
By love, not by hate
changing our land, the world
light shining, ever,
into the darkness
Light to transform
to heal the world
