Group 1: Assertion Group 2: Response
1. Look at you! 1. Stop discrimination!
Torn dusty shoes Stop discrimination!
Always in old clothes A pure heart is all God requires
Same same hairstyle We’re all equal before God
You can’t be our friend We’re all God’s family
2. Look at you! 2.Stop discrimination!
Resembling monkeys Stop discrimination!
Dipped in crude oil We’re fearfully and wonderfully made
Mere stammers We’re all equal before God
You can’t join our team We’re all God’s family
3. Look at you! 3.Stop discrimination!
Poor as church mice Stop discrimination!
Always taking bread and water We’re happy with peace of mind
You can’t afford a balanced diet We’re all equal before God
You don’t belong to our class We’re all God’s family
4. Look at you! 4.Stop discrimination!
Mere nonentities Stop discrimination!
Primary school education Simon Peter and John
Is all you ever achieved Mere fishermen mightily used by Jesus
You can’t lead our church We’re all equal before God
You have nothing to tell us We’re all God’s family
Both groups
5. It’s very true! It’s very true!
God does not discriminate
We’re all created in God’s image
We’re all equal before God
We’re all God’s family
