TEACH US TO LIVE

God of Love – Forgive! Forgive!
Teach us how to Truly Live,
Ask us not our race or creed,
Just take us in our hour of need,
And let us know You love us, too,
And that we are A Part of You,
And someday may man realize
That all the earth,
the seas and skies,
Belong to God who made us all,
The rich, the poor,
the great, the small,
And in the Father’s Holy Sight,
No man is yellow, black, or white,
And Peace on Earth cannot be found
Until we Meet on Common Ground
And every man becomes a Brother,
Who worships God
and Loves each other.
