Matthew 5:44

That Guy

He scoped out the market

All the women and kids

With so many distractions

Nobody noticed him

Nobody noticed him

He had a jacket a size too big

A skullcap on his head

And a couple of homemade bombs

He duct taped them to his chest

He taped them to his chest

God loves that guy

God loves that guy

He followed his heart

To a co-worker’s bed

He could have salvaged his marriage with kids

But he chose to leave instead

He chose to leave

He thought it was love

But it was just a mirage

So he sits in his idling car

Parked in a closed garage

Inside a closed garage

God loves that guy

God loves that guy

Me on the other hand I can write somebody off

Like the last check for a student loan

I can love when it’s convenient

But it’s not always convenient

It’s not always the easy road

I want to look past the outside to the well-meaning heart
To the good they forgot that they had
Teach me to love, teach me to love
Teach me to love like that

He messed up again
Wanted to disappear
But he can’t ‘cause he’s easy to find
I see him in the mirror
I see him in the mirror

God loves that guy
God loves that guy
Teach me to love, teach me to love
Teach me to love like that
Love like that
