What Is It Lord? Poem by Mark louie Cañete

The greatest Love came because of Thee
The awaited Messiah is now amidst the people!
Looking for disciples to be his companion
To help him preach the love the Father has given

But he did not stayed for long
He offered his life for man's glory
Arrayed love remain in mystery
Yet so, Your will to follow,

You adhere, when You said: 'Do this in memory of me'
The word grow, Your first disciples shed their blood for You
It is the faith that makes them see love amidst the hook of the crow
They see hope in life in You, - a life in shade not in fade

Oblivious we are of the meaning; You gave at the very beginning
We 'remember', 'follow' though we are not really in You, O Lord!
Our works are not Your works, Your face are not showed
We are, and we are not - being and not in accord of Your being

What is it Lord? Love our enemies?
Love for bombs and Tanks is the goals of human hands
Kill the weak and neglect the orphans
Trained our armies to conquer our enemies

What is it Lord? Love our enemies?
'Yes! You heard it right
For love is for the might
And to love them you should wear my guise

For I did not establish my church for you but for all of you
Your enemies are also my sheep, but they have gone into the cities
But I hope they will be back in my flock
So that they might have genuine peace'
