Not the Religion – v4

Not the religion, not the name we claim,
Christian, follower, disciple, any other label;
Proof of our humanity, our belief in love
in the way we live, in what we do
how we walk on this earth
humble, good to our neighbors,
reaching out to those in need;
No label, no denomination,
no fraction of the whole
nothing to separate us, part of our family,
the whole human race
offered grace by the Creator
in relationship, within the body,
we all find our place
