To Love - David Wilcox

The righteous and the infidels

Just outside the gates of hell

Waiting for their judgment to fall

They looked around from face to face

So different in their faith and race

How could heaven ever welcome them all?

Each one certain that he’s made the grade

Judging all the others with a holy rage

There’s one crime that all of them are guilty of

The commandment of one God to love

Each one was surprised as hell

To see the way the judgment fell

'Cause none of them would see the light above

All thinking they could stand apart

But the same hate was in every heart

There’s little left of a religion without love

Each one certain that he’s made the grade

Judging all the others with a holy rage

'Cause there’s one crime that all of them were guilty of

The commandment of one God to love

All of them appealed their case and stood before the One

Askin' why would God make different faiths

Concealed in different tongues

Heaven knows the reason all beliefs are not the same

For God to see who loves their enemies

He goes by different names

Each religion failed the test

By fighting over which faith said it best

And there’s one crime that all of them are guilty of

The commandment from one God to love

The commandment of one God to love
