Love of the Cross

To love those who are hurting
Is an easy thing to do
To love those who love you
Takes no bridled attitude

To love those who have worldly goods
May take a spot of care
To love those who have used you
Will cause your flesh to tear

To love all those who hate you
Will bring you to your knees
For this is not a love that comes
Easy as you please

And loving those befriended
Who cheated you and lied
Will bring you all at once unto
The humble Savior’s side

For love is not of fallen man
Who winces with each loss
Love is only found in those
Who glory in the Cross
