Pray for My Enemies
by Bruce Carroll

Album: Sometimes Miracles Hide
by Bruce Carroll

On the other side of the world
Are some men a lot like me
With jobs to keep, bills to pay
Wives and families
And though they're halfway around the world
I've seen them laugh and cry
Are they casualties of war
Or casualties of lies?

I've been trained to think that they are fools
Given to a pagan mind
And they in turn think we are cruel
Our aggression makes us blind
But behind all the religion
And pride that blocks the way
There breathes a soul that love could make
A child of God someday

That's why I pray for my enemies
'Cause in the eyes of God
I know that when it comes to sin
The same road we all trod
I pray for my enemies
That the light of truth they'll see
I pray for my enemies
Even if they never pray for me

It seems at times, my greatest foe
Is not so far from home
Weapons like their angry words
Cut me to the bone
It's hard to love someone whose heart
Is so dark that they can't see
But once I was on the other side
When someone prayed for me

So I pray for my enemies
'Cause in the eyes of God
I know that when it comes to sin
The same road we all trod
I pray for my enemies
That the light of truth they'll see
I pray for my enemies
Even if they never pray for me

God is not respecter
He loves us just the same
And in the name of Jesus
Anyone can change

Pray for my enemies
I gotta pray for my enemies
I gotta pray for my enemies
I'm gonna pray for my enemies
