Lyrics That's What The Teacher Taught - The Talleys

Love your enemies
Serve the least of these
That's what the teacher taught.
Seek the kingdom first
Forgive when you've been hurt
That's what the teacher taught.

But the world didn't understand why he came
So they beat him, cursed and mocked his name
And when they nailed him to a tree
He just prayed for them
He turned the other cheek
Blessed are the meek
That's what the teacher taught.

Blessed are the pure in heart
Go to where the broken are
That's what the teacher taught.
Follow me at any cost
Even when it means a cross
That's what the teacher taught.

And I have every word of life
Still I struggle, I can't seem to get it right.
But I can hear him from the tree
In his agony
When he forgives the fee
He's forgiving me
That's what the teacher taught.

A God who would die for you and me
It makes no sense.
It's a mystery.

Oh the world didn't understand why he came
So they beat him, cursed and mocked his name
And when they nailed him to a tree
He just prayed for them
He turned the other cheek
Blessed are the meek
That's what the teacher taught.
