With Love, Not with Hate – v2

Righting injustices, speaking,

standing up when opportunity calls;

doing what is right

with love, not with hate

this we honor, on this day

the man, the dream, the cause

what he fought for

Acting as the Christ did as He,

Healing the sick on the sabbath;

marching in the face of injunctions

understanding the wrath of power;

doing the right thing, anyway

standing up for justice, for equality,

no matter the cost to them

Doing the right,

bearing witness to Christ;

lovingly, shining the light

hope into the darkness

healing the breach caused by man

going a servant, bearing the cross

doing all that he could
