All in Christ
Teachers, preachers, laymen listen,
brother, sisters all in Christ:
love, respect, forgive, forget
there is much to do here yet.
Turn backs on pride, let God's
spirit guide, turn from all your lofty ways.
Be patient and kind, protect one another,
as any of you would shield his own mother.
Don't be rude, don't seek your own;
don't keep a deed of wrongs.
Don't let knowledge puff your pride
Let love walk closely at your side.
Remember gifts will pass away
and you'll be face to face
accounting for your deeds of grace.
Jesus went to the cross to avoid our loss:
commanding one further commandment:
Love one another as a sister or brother
by this men will know you are mine.
