Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] All the colors of the rainbow live unseen in daily light, but their splendors find expression when released to human sight; so the church reveals most beauty where diversity is real: breadth of race and class and gender, room for doubt, and space to heal. [Verse 2] All the body\xe2\x80\x99s parts are wanted, nor can one despise the rest: head and hand must work together, as must eye, ear, throat, and chest; so the church needs all its members for a range of ministries: varied gifts with one great mission, \xe2\x80\x9dDo this for the least of these.\xe2\x80\x9d [Verse 3] Every language gains more music when the words for peace appear: Pax, Salaam, Eir\xc3\xadni, Heiwa, Pace, Santi, Frieden, Mir. Though our tongues make sounds that vary all bespeak a common home: longing for the end of conflict and new life in God\xe2\x80\x99s Shalom. [Verse 4] Teach us, God, our need of others; through them help us fully live. Wean us from our selfish habits; let us listen, learn, forgive. May we see your longed-for image in each human heart and face, and behold how those around us can be channels of your grace.
