My Enemy

Used to be the smiter came
Struck my cheek and I cursed his name
Used to be my fist was drawn
My heart was stone and its mercy gone
I was wrong to breath any words but these

Peace and mercy, invade every soul that hurts me, I pray
Peace and mercy, invade every soul that hurts me
Love my enemy, love my enemy like you loved me

Used to be I rolled the dice
Held the spear and I broke your side
Water, blood and mercy ran
Turning foes to forgiven friends
I’d be wrong to give any less than this

Peace and mercy, invade every soul that hurts me, I pray
Peace and mercy, invade every soul that hurts me
Love my enemy, change my enemy, forgive my enemy
Love my enemy like you loved me
