Pray for My Enemies

Lyrics

On the other side of the world Are some men a lot like me With jobs to keep, bills to pay Wives and families And though they're halfway around the world I've seen them laugh and cry Are they casualties of war Or casualties of lies? I've been trained to think that they are fools Given to a pagan mind And they in turn think we are cruel Our aggression makes us blind But behind all the religion And pride that blocks the way There breathes a soul that love could make A child of God someday That's why I pray for my enemies 'Cause in the eyes of God I know that when it comes to sin The same road we all trod I pray for my enemies That the light of truth they'll see I pray for my enemies Even if they never pray for me It seems at times, my greatest foe Is not so far from home Weapons like their angry words Cut me to the bone It's hard to love someone whose heart Is so dark that they can't see But once I was on the other side When someone prayed for me So I pray for my enemies 'Cause in the eyes of God I know that when it comes to sin The same road we all trod I pray for my enemies That the light of truth they'll see I pray for my enemies Even if they never pray for me God is not respecter He loves us just the same And in the name of Jesus Anyone can change Pray for my enemies I gotta pray for my enemies I gotta pray for my enemies I'm gonna pray for my enemies
