What about the neighbour?

When God's will is done,
Love of God and other,
Two loves become one.
Jesus asks the question,
We dare not ignore,
"Will you be a neighbour?"
"Do you love self more?"

What about the neighbour?
Do we know their needs?
Do we seek to meet them,
With both words and deeds?
Christ is our example.
He did not divide
Love for God and others.
Both stand side by side.

What about the neighbour?
God requests reply.
Though we claim to love them,
Do our acts belie?
No matter what others
May do in return,
They're our sisters, brothers,
Our equal concern. (Anabaptist Hymn)
