You may have heard that is was the truth
An "eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"
But verse 39 says that what should be done
Is "do not resist an evil person"
"If someone strikes you on the right cheek"
Your left also allow him to strike, not just tweak
"And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic"
"Let him have your cloak as well", if he doth pick
"If someone forces you to go one mile"
"Go with him two miles" with a smile
By turning the other cheek
We might appear rather meek
But Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth
Which is a lot more than a cloak is worth
More to the point is that by loving others
We can help turn them into Christian brothers
So please God help me to turn the other cheek
As your love and glory I continue to seek
