Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #656 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Love for Others Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other
As Christ accepted us;
Teach us as sister, brother,
Each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us,
And bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted
And meant to love and live.
2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons,
As in our daily life
We struggle to be human
And search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people,
For all, not just for some;
To love them as we find them,
Or, as they may become.
3 Let your acceptance change us,
So that we may be moved
In living situations
To do the truth in love;
To practice your acceptance,
Until we know by heart
The table of forgiveness
And laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters
With all who are in need,
Who hunger for acceptance,
For righteousness and bread,
We need new eyes for seeing,
New hands for holding on;
Renew us with your Spirit;
Lord, free us, make us one! Scripture: John 15:12 Languages: English Tune Title: KING'S LYNN
