Forgiveness

How do you love those
Who never will love you
Who are happy to shove you
Out in front of the train
How do you not hate those
Who would leave you lie bleeding
While they hold their prayer meeting

How do you love those
Who never will love you
Who are so frightened of you
They are calling for war
How do you not hate those
Who have loaded their Bibles
And armed their disciples
'Cause I don’t know anymore

And I can’t find forgiveness
For them anywhere in this
And with God as my witness
I really have tried

How do you love those
Who never will love you
I think only God knows
And He is not taking sides
I hope one day He shows us
How we can love those
Who never will love us
But who still we must love
