Under God, One Family

 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 

And that is what we are! 

The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

1 John 3:1

Humanity, humanity

Intelligence, insanity

Humility and vanity

Within dust-vessels spar

Humanity, humanity

Companionship and enmity

On this one thing we must agree

What common kin we are

So different and yet the same

All capable of shame and blame

Sin-cursed into this world we came

And needy of God’s grace

Humanity, humanity

With God, no anonymity

Because He made both you and me

We have a purposed place

Humanity, humanity,

Life’s most complex simplicity

Where culture and ethnicity

Does not define our worth

Humanity, humanity

We, under God, one family

He, Father of love and mercy

To we, the sons of earth

SO much brokenness in this world! And there is no room for finger-pointing because we all need 

The One Healer by whose stripes we are healed!

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Isa.53:5
