FUTILE HATE

by Janette Lueveen

FUTILE HATE

Friend, don't fill your heart with hate
It shutters the pathway to heaven's gate

Why allow your heart to retain such rage?
It will keep you trapped in Satan's cage.

Is there some lie you have been told?
Is this why your soul was sold?

Is there some hurt from your past?
Christ never meant for hurts to last.

Do you resent some childhood wrong?
Christ can use our past to make us strong.

Is fear something you've always known?
You are not required to face fear alone.

Why such bitterness, envy, and greed?
Christ alone can fill your every need.

All our sins are seeded in pride
To wipe them away is why Christ died
