Teach Us To Love

I believe that Jesus is reaching out to each
one of us with love and we get to do
our best to do the same

Teach us to love

Our Father sent His beloved Son
To teach us love for everyone.
For us, for Him, for each who live,
No matter how they take, or give.
He showed us not to shun the poor,
But share our wealth, and give them more.
He taught us to not walk away
From those who sin from day to day,
For are we all not sinners too?
Are we perfect in all we do?
Don’t justify casting the stone,
Or walking away when someone’s alone.
He showed us to look at someone’s heart,
To love them for that precious part
That makes every person His precious child
Whether they are meek and calm, or loud and wild.
He showed us to truly see someone,
The pain in their darkness, in need of sun.
He healed with love, and we can too,
If we look to Him in all we do.
Speak loving words, don’t turn away.
Give kindness, care, and hope each day.
If you think someone is different from you
Know they are also alike because it is true
That each person who lives has a Father above
Who sent His Son Jesus to teach us to love.
