Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy (Psalm 123:3; NLT).
Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth! (Psalm 86:11; NLT).
Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you (2 Corinthians 13:11; NLT).
When we are judgemental
And unkind –
Lord, have mercy on us;
Teach us your perfect way –
The way of love.
When we are angry
And abusive –
Christ, have mercy on us;
Teach us your perfect way –
The way of peace.
When we are full of hate
And violence –
Lord, have mercy on us;
Teach us your perfect way –
The way of love.
