Christians Divided

Why are we all so divided With strong opinions all decided Are we really following Jesus in our lives Or arguing on doctrinal issues Constantly taking sides Jesus was a shepherd of people while on earth Teaching love and that we all have worth To sinners He reached out in love Sharing wisdom from His Father above Love was His focus, not taking sides Arguing and fighting only divides It is courageous to stand for what we believe If done with hate instead of love others will flee Jesus our Shepherd prayed for all to be one Seeking sheep to follow Him to learn love God's will to be done God asks us Christians to seek more sheep for His fold To be a light of love Help sinners come in from a world so cold None among us is sin without But God loves and forgives us no doubt If only we could embrace people like Jesus did Not just who we think are right, rejecting those we think are wrong Sharing God's love with people of all religions, every race rich or poor, weak or strong Any kingdom divided will be ruined A house divided against itself is doomed Why would anyone want to know Jesus unless they could see A light of love shining through you and me
