By Love, not by Hate – v2

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
