A Broken Heart

My heart is breaking day by day
Seeing the hate and mocking
Watching the way that we dismiss each other's stories
The way we put one gender on a pedestal over another

My heart is breaking day by day
Seeing the anger and violence
Not understanding why we don't open our eyes
We dismiss so easily the people that we don't agree with

My heart is breaking day by day
As I witness the hate against my fellow men and women
Hate because of differing political views
Hate because of differing skin color, and language

My heart is breaking day by day
As I search to understand how one side can claim Jesus,
yet be so hateful of the other side
I'm searching to understand, to grasp why it is okay to mock and put down
For my Jesus never did that

My Jesus wouldn't have been on that panel,
My Jesus wouldn't have laughed yesterday
My Jesus would have been for truth, real truth
Not one person against the other
My Jesus would be loving through the process

My heart is breaking day by day
I see people that don't want to love
They are satisfied with living their life in hate
I don't want to be a part of a group of people that only want to hate

That's not my belief
That's not who I am
I won't ever be for people that only want to judge, and diminish someone's story

My heart is breaking day by day
The pieces are crying out against all that tears them down
For I long to be a part of a world that is not broken
I long to be able to see a solution of unity, not division
