[ The point being … we’re all capable of evil, and of good (with God’s grace).]
Have you ever been the bad guy –
A miserable place to be?
The Prodigal’s older brother,
The blinded Pharisee?
The hypocrite, the legalist,
The demonstrator with tight-clenched fist?
The Nazi soldier, the Khmer Rouge –
They make you quake within your shoes.
The foreigner, the substance dealer,
The liars, and the false faith healers.
The person of another faith,
The race that seems your hate to bait.
The gossip, and unfaithful wife,
The married couple locked in strife.
The person who distracts, annoys;
Manipulates with sneaky ploys.
And when I am the bad guy,
I pray, you’ll pray for me.
And when you are the bad guy,
I’ll do the same for thee.
