Pray for Those

Pray for those who persecute you
And love your enemies
It's the privilege we've been given
To share in His suffering
Now don't you complain
When someone borrows
And never bothers to return
The possession you hold dearest
'Cause in the end, it's gonna burn

Oh, when you've been slapped backhanded
Over things you've never done
Don't let anger overcome you
'Cause now's the time to let His mercy shine

And pray for those who persecute you
And love your enemies
It's the privilege we've been given
To share in His suffering
Now don't you complain
When someone borrows
And never bothers to return
The possession you hold dearest
'Cause in the end, it's gonna burn

Oh, when you see a hungry brother
Don't just pray then pass them by
Share the blessings you've been given
'Cause now's the time to let His mercy shine

And pray for those who persecute you
And love your enemies
It's the privilege we've been given
To share in His suffering
Now don't you complain
When someone borrows
And never bothers to return
The possession you hold dearest
'Cause in the end, it's gonna burn

Oh, by His wounds we have been healed
By His light we are complete
Everything He has He's given
He took the time to let His mercy shine
Oh, yeah, He took the time to let His mercy shine
Oh, yeah, He took the time to let His mercy shine
