You Can Hurt

If it pleases you to hurt
Then, you hurt others too
Your loved ones, your family
And even your neighbors too
Don't be fooled
Hurting yourself is like a magnetic shock wave
You're only hurting yourself?
Not entirely, but you hurt people around

Though life seems so hard
Though enemy seems to increase
Though you grow weary and marred
How about looking unto Jesus
The author and finisher of our faith
According to His greatness and mercies
We shall overcome trials and are blessed
Let's keep the faith, holding fast
Problems you may have?
O. look onto one another near by
They have it too, don't believe me?
Go to a convalescent hospital
Maybe you'll hurt too!

But...

If it pleases you to hurt
Then, you hurt others too
