You said to love
All I see is hate Emotions swirling ‘round On this sacred date What must You think When I choose to hate When I turn from You To pursue my fate When I choose to hurt Instead of heal When I choose the fake Instead of the real When I choose to look At myself instead When I starve my Lord To make sure I’m fed I look beyond To the crimson cross And Your eyes still shine With love spread across On that cross so hard In Your eyes the love Yet I prefer the eagle And pervert the dove You said to love All I see is hate Lord give me your heart On this sacred date Copyright 2010 by Boyd Allen

Forty-seven years ago yesterday, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave one of the most famous speeches in American history. I am ashamed to admit that--until tonight--I had never watched the speech in its entirety. If you're like me and you've never seen it, or if you've watched it many times...take a few minutes and allow the words of an American prophet to move you. Word, Dr. King. Word.
