A new way has has emerged for me,
I have stopped living thoughtlessly,
Captive to hate no longer,
I am free to give and receive love,
Hate sought to destroy my life,
Now my life testifies to Love’s words,
That daily remind me of God’s presence.
Everywhere I look I can see God,
Creation shouts out God’s words,
It’s daily rhythm of waking and sleeping,
Reminders of God’s heart beat,
The source of my life evident to all,
Praise is the right response,
Hate seeks to bring down all that is good,
But, hate’s reward is coming soon,
When Love and hate face off,
Justice will be made clear to all.
