Gods Family

Dear God, should any religion suggest your rejection
Of others outside its own connection?
We dont have to accept everything we hear;
If weve strong faith, theres nothing to fear.
When exposed to new ways through which some have grown,
Could it be your suggestion that we search our own?
We need not leave the religion were attending;
Just use what will help to make ours more depending.
So help us not look for the difference in our brother,
But look deep inside and your presence discover.
For we are all here, your family, to be
Not competing, but working together with thee,
Caring and sharing all that we can,
Building your kingdom to fulfill your plan.
