Song Description4 Bible stories emphasize the fact that Jesus teaches us to love our enemies. The chorus is a rephrasing of Jesus' admonition to love our enemies.
Story Behind the SongI wrote this as a teaching tool in my work with children.

A great song and an even better lesson. It'll have you listening in on every word and singing on the chorus on the first spin. Fun stuff here and a message that'll last forever. Great work all around for sure.

Chorus:
If you love those who love you, God is not impressed.
If you love those who BUG you, that?s when you?ll be blessed.
Look him in the eye and love the meanest guy.
Jesus will be pleased.
Pray for those who persecute you.
La la la la la la la la love ----- your enemies.
Big bad Saul had a lot of hate.
Tried to send a spear though a man named Dave.
Dave in a cave had to make a choice.
He chose to listen to the heavenly voice.
Bloody man dying on the Jericho Road
Priest and the Levite just turned up their nose
Good Sam, what a man, stopped to help that guy
Bound up his wounds so he wouldn?t die.
Now we'll sing a song about deacon Steve,
Willing to die for what he believed in
Got stoned, broken bones, but before he died
Prayed for the guys who tore up his hide.
No one could do it like Jesus could.
Whipped and slapped and nailed to the wood.
Sin couldn?t win ?cuz the Lord, He forgave
And we got the power (we got the power)
We got the power (we got the power)
We got the power when He popped through the grave!
