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
