Color Blind

All life is precious
Why must we see just Black or White
There is evil here at work
I pray it fades into the night

May we all get blind to color
This is my wish for all of man
If we put our faith in God and show love
Then I know we can

May you find true love and peace
And feel God’s loving grace
I pray the wind stays at your back
And helps you keep your pace

No more, white this or black that
Let’s all start living life as one
With Jesus in our hearts
I know we’ll get it done

A wise man once said, "Let us judge not on the color of skin but rather on the content of one's character". May we live up to that ideal and see others as God sees, not with racial prejudice or agenda. Amen to your words, Mark. Congrats on your win ~ John

He indeed was a wise man. I have a dream which he wrote in 1963 5 years before his death
