But that doesn't mean

You're wrong.

You are different to me,

But that doesn't mean

I'm wrong.

You are different to me,

And I refuse

To fear you.

You are different to me;

No need to force

My own view.

You are different to me;

Let us resolve

Not to fight.

You are different to me;

I have no right

To be right.

You are different to me:

Compromise

Isn't a sin.

You are different to me:

Forgiveness,

Our oxygen.

You are different to me:

Comparisons

Are pointless.

You are different to me;

Let's rise above

Prejudice.

You are different to me,

And I will

Celebrate this.

You are different to me;

Together

There's such richness.

You are different to me,

Yet deep down

So much the same.

You are different to me;

Children of God,

Called by name.

You are different to me:

God delights

In both of us.

You are different to me;

Both saved by

Brother Jesus.

You are different to me,

And I find myself

Through you.

You are different to me;

I see God

Dwelling in you.

~ ~

You are different to me;

Yes, you are

Blessing to me.

You are different to me;

Thank God

For diversity!
