THE NEW COMMANDMENT song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

Based on Matthew 5

but I say to love your enemies
in the name of what's to come
and to pray for those who persecute
so that you may be as sons

for your Father art in heaven
and you are not dust to dust
or he makes his sun rise on bad and good
rains on just and the unjust

if you want so to be perfect
go and sell all that you've got
and give all unto the poor and then
you'll have treasure heaven sought

a new commandment shall I give you:
love one another as I do
as I have loved you so you must you do too
love one another and be true

for who would be proud will be humbled
and God shall find the fault
for everyone who prides shall be crumbled
and the poor He shall exalt

Blessed are those are in mourning
for they shall all face the light
blessed all those who wish righteousness
cause in the end all be made right

blessed all they who are merciful
for mercy is their right of birth
blessed are the meed in spirit
for they shall inherit the earth
