The Hatred Never Went Away

The hatred never went away
Just pushed into a fertile soil
Now, weedy thick, it springs to day
With words of shame, our Pride to spoil

Words of venom meant to save me?
There’s no love here; let’s be clear.
“Bound for hell!” is shouted bravely;
Do they hold my soul so near?

The hatred never went away
Just pushed into a fertile soil
Now, weedy thick, it springs to day
With words of shame, our Pride to spoil

It is their duty – “Save the Lost!”
The shepherds finding one lost sheep.
“Just follow Jesus; Count the cost!”
I pray the Lord THEIR souls to keep.

The hatred never went away
Just pushed into a fertile soil
Now, weedy thick, it springs to day
With words of shame, our Pride to spoil
