we have failed our neighbor – v2

we must be open to everyone
as a church, as individuals
for we all are broken;
we must accept our neighbors
just as they are

we have failed our neighbor
as a church, as individuals
if they are not welcome;
we have let them down
if they are not able to come

we must be open to everyone
as a church, as individuals
for we all are broken;
we must accept our neighbors
just as they are
