When we face our neighbors
when we argue our positions
when we come together
in the marketplace of ideas
We should be mindful
guided by our Savior
standing on the grace
the rock of Almighty God
Christ forgiving,
His words healing,
even at the moment of his anguish
abandoned and dying
offering a prayer to God
Bearing witness,
love unending
power in that example
of the nature of our God
Changing our perspective
the tenor of our speaking
becoming a light to the nations
hope for the whole world
We should be grounded
standing on this message
love, not anger
healing our brokenness
Christ alive
living within us
we are to be His voice
His light to this troubled world
