The Stigma of Difference – v5


The stigma of difference
little things really
setting us apart
a stain upon us

when we are all one
fallen before the Lord
each of us sinners
all of us lost in the world

none better than the others
all with feet of clay
needing Christ to have life
to rest in the Lord
