It is a sign of grace
If you suffer while doing right
But if you suffer while doing wrong
There’s no reason for you to fight
We don’t do what’s asked of us
In order to pay Caesar’s price
We walk forward humbly in Love
To reveal the Love of Christ
We don’t shake our fist and declare
“Jesus sets us free!
From following laws of men and so
We can live disobediently!”
But if, when showing love
Or offering unmerited grace
We find ourselves being cast aside
Or even just losing face
We look to our example
Christ – who did no wrong
Even though loving others
Put Him in chains He didn’t belong
He endured through suffering
Without demanding His rights
He trusted realities we couldn’t see
When others called Him to fight
By His wounds we have been healed
We, sheep who’d gone astray
So instead of asking “how can I be free?”
We’d ask “how can I Love?” today.
