Love Them All
by Elizabeth Deveau

Album: The True Vine

He's the neighbour on your street
A seeming heartless, rude old man
Who's bitterness and anger
you've not sought to understand;
And each time you pass him by
you fail to look him in the eye;
For it's easier to glance away
Than to chance a friendly word to say

She's the misfit at your school
Rejected soul who's lost her way
For months you've sat beside her,
and you don't even know her name.
And when your friends all mock and scorn
Your knowing heart and mind are torn;
For what you do to the least of these
Jesus said, "my child … you do to me"

Chorus
You were called to love them all
Extend His mercy and His grace
Be a light, be Jesus' face.
You were called to love them all
Hear the commanding words of Jesus,
Love them all.

He's a dishevelled, homeless beggar
Who's telling eyes portrait his pain
Still you criticize his circumstance
Condemn in thoughts and words of blame.
And there's that colleague in the boardroom,
Who's careless words have cut you down.
Though he's made you feel just like a fool
In your heart, you know what you must do.

Repeat chorus twice ...
