One in God, 

Many talents. 

R:All of us God's people. 

Come to God

And find out 

Who we are 

And why we 

Have become 

So divided.

God of wholeness, 

Forgive us 

That we have 

Become so divided 

From each other.

We see those 

And turn away, 

Forgetting 

That they are 

Your children too. 

When we refuse to see 

How diverse your world 

Really is.

Help us all 

To remember 

That it is you

Who created all we see, 

And that we are to be 

One people

Living in love 

With each other.

And God is always there, 

Waiting for us 

To remember and turn 

To find that love 

That is ours to have.

God is the creator 

Of all the diverse life 

That we see around us. U_

Short and tall,

Black and white,

And all other hues of skin 

And all other people

Of every type, 

All people and creatures 

Are the products 

Of the hands of a God 

Who loves all. 

Go out from here 

And see that all 

That you meet 

Belong to God  

And learn to love 

All people That you meet 

Are children Of God. 

Walk in peace 

Be at peace 

Remembering that God 

Really does love you.

The truth 

That is ours to have 

Dear God,

We have been told 

That you love us,

But then we hear

Other, darker voices 

Telling us that you 

Do not want us  near. 

Forgive us 

When we believe them 

And turn away from you

There should be no hate in us for any person if we love God.. For God has commanded us to love all people. 

Come and learn from God how to love as He does so that we will always be known as children of God. For that is what we are.
