Help Us Accept Each Other
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #558 (2011) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other as Christ accepted us;
teach us as sister, brother, each person to embrace.
Be present, Lord, among us and bring us to believe
We are ourselves accepted and meant to love and live.
2 Teach us O Lord, Your lessons, as in our daily life
we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith.
Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some;
to love them as we find them, or as they may be come.
3 Let your acceptance change us, so that we may be moved
in living situations to do the truth in love,
to practice your acceptance until we know by heart
the table of forgiveness and laughter's healing art.
4 Lord, for today's encounters with all who are in need,
who hunger for acceptance, for righteousness and bread,
we need new eyes for seeing, new hands for holding on;
renew us with Your Spirit; Lord, free us, make us one! Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Scripture: Matthew 18:21 Languages: English Tune Title: BARONITA
