Jesus preached a sermon one day, And this is what He had to say: Treat others in the nicest way. Do more than what you're asked. Give to those who can't pay you back, Don't worry you won't suffer lack. Remember God has got your back. His providence is vast. Love should be our motive for all, Going the extra mile our call, Even our enemies enthrall. Let your heart be unmasked.
