Human Rights – v2

Basic human rights

to love and to live

offered to each one,

only by the Father to give.

We cannot take them

for they are not truly ours;

but we can harm them

if we do not show love.

We are called to service

to love God and to our neighbor

to not judge another, an other,

but to offer the world hope.

We are messengers of our Savior

witnesses to His power,

able to heal us with His sacrifice

to raise us from the dead.

We must not be stumbling blocks

fetters on our neighbors’ feet;

we should be fitting them

with wings on which to fly.
