hated

If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.

John 15:18

My only offense to others

Should be the cross

My only “fault” to watchers

Should just be Jesus

My Savior, my Master, My King

Should be known in me

And if folks don’t like Jesus watching

They won’t care to look at me

Some people hate Jesus Christ

Because they know they must change

And the gospel calls them to another life

That they reject as strange

They refuse the gospel, refusing God

And don’t want to hear it ever

They look at Christians as somewhat odd

When we say we can live forever

If some today hat Jesus our Master

Then we may be hated as well

But Jesus is judge, rejection is their disaster

When the hate and rejection end in hell

My aspiration is to let Jesus live in me

Showing His love to people all around

No mater what others might think of me

I am Jesus’ disciple, pilgrim here, heaven-bound
