Different

You like chocolate I like vanilla,
     not everyone is the same,
What do we do when we must choose
     should we draw lots – one will lose.

Seasons come and seasons go
     one wants the beach and one wants the snow,
All our preferences that divide
     always leave someone unsatisfied.

So with music not all like the same,
     so we grumble as we all want our way.
But do we ever ask the Lord what do we do?
     Go search the Scriptures, and see His truth!

It is the Lord that made us different –
     and would you really want all to be you?
We can be thankful for all God made
     for all is a tapestry that He has laid.

May God's Spirit work in a powerful way,
     causing great joy each and every day,
as Christ served us may we serve others
     God help us care more for our sisters and brothers!
