All of us complicit
all who claim his name
when others claim his name
and fail to follow his example
Christ showed us
God’s mercy, his love
going to the cross
that we may live
Nothing of hate
forgiveness the watchword
even on the cross
begging for our forgiveness
Our hands bloody
when those who claim his name
divide, hate, kill
in the name of Christ
Nothing could be farther
from the path of Christ
nothing more dividing
than claiming the will of God

God Would Unite Us
Through Christ,
one shepherd, one flock
one way, through the cross
yet we are the others
those who would have been killed
kept from the kingdom
denied the right live
outside the law
not of the chosen
we are save by Christ
by his grace alone
God would unite us
all the world together
not hating our neighbors
our sisters, our brothers
Healing our divisions
all that divides us
wanting us to love
to forgive our neighbors

A Wellspring of Hate
In believing our faith
is the fount of all knowledge
that others are evil
unworthy of existence
Seeing threats
from our neighbors
because of their creed
what they believe in
The divide of religion
sending so many
to the dogs of war
to acts of terrorism
leading so many
to senseless death

Nothing of God
Nothing of God
of the example of Christ
killing our neighbor
in the name of Christ
Love is the watchword
the true faith
as he forgave us
up on the cross
Nothing of hate
in the love of God
giving us all
giving us life
Healing our brokenness
of our mortal sin
of the price of our rebelling
turning our back on him
Nothing of Christ
in killing our neighbor;
forgiving our brother,
This is his example
