The Golden Rule

If I was a preacher, I’d ask in Jesus’ name

For God to love all children and no one be ashamed

I’m asking you good preachers to lead your church with grace

For if God had made you different, you could be in my place. 

 

In my God’s Bible, you can read it all.

“One who loves another, they have fulfilled the law.”

When the hate is spoken, this I know is true:

Do unto others as you’d have them do to you,

Do unto others as you’d have them do to you.

 

If I was a politician, I would not turn and run,

I’d know the rights I’m giving belong to everyone

I’d listen to my people and represent them all.

If I was a politician, love would be my law.

 

Consciousness is building to make this country proud,

We’ll fight for our freedom, I believe I feel it coming now.

When the hate is written, this I know is true: 

Do unto others as you’d have them do to you,

Do unto others as you’d have them do to you.
