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
