PLEASE NOTE: One of the 4 verses below could be chosen as a chorus to be repeated, if desired.
1
We "strongly urge forbearance
with each other" now, with grace,
and pray that patience, self-control,
and mercy will fill this place.
2
Let us see our differences not as discord,
but as the blessing which can come
when we share our faith perspectives, openly discuss,
and celebrate all that makes us one.
3
We treasure both faithfulness to truth
and openness to new light.
We embrace our commitment to each other in Christ,
respect differences, seek spiritual in--sight.
4
In matters where we are not of one mind
we pledge to let God's Spirit come
and draw us together to be of one heart,
loving neighbors to all, not just some.
