Each time you feel the urge
To react in kind to someone who hurts you
That same thought purge,
And replace that thought with love
Forgive and resist knee jerking
There’s a better way
Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you
Turn the other cheek and live
Untangle anger without fear of loss
Surely He’ll diffuse the pain
Love that one as you yourself were loved by Christ himself
With soft and healing gentle rain
Sometimes uttering not a word
Except the word of God
To melt a thousand icebergs
Give them Jesus love in return
For as Jesus covered you
While yet in your sin
His love covers a multitude of sin
Melts frozen rivers into peace
Your heart will thank Him once again
