Tapestry

There is one thread
         That binds all humans together...
      That is the love of God -
                 It transcends all time
                                       All space
                                 And all human difference
Like a beautiful tapestry
          Woven fitly together
       Each vibrant color strand
              And unique design
                        Creating seamless beauty
                                   When working as one -
                            One faith
                                    One hope
                                           One love
                                                  One creation
When in this world we can
           Look and see through the eyes of God
                    Then there are no differences...
               We are alike far more than we are different -
                                     We all bleed
                                             We laugh
                                                    We cry
                                                           We dream
                   We all have need and we all need love
Open your heart
           To a world that's hurting
                   Wipe away the tears 
                            Of those who mourn
Hold someone's hand
           In the midst of turmoil
                        That is to see the face of God
