Unity and Diversity
A prisoner for the Lord,
I will walk in the manner;
Worthy and in one accord,
Because He is my planner.
With all the humility,
And gentleness with patience;
Gives me the ability,
For building my confidence.
Bear love for one another,
Unify a bond of peace;
As the love for your brother,
Keeps growing and will not cease.
One body and one Spirit,
Calling to be the one hope;
As spoken through your merit,
Persevering as you cope.
Having one faith through one Lord,
One baptism as one child;
To the Father you adored,
Remaining tender and mild.
But grace given to each one,
According to the measure;
Being a gift from the Son,
Salvation for your treasure.
When He ascended on high,
He led a host of captives;
To Heaven above the sky,
For being His electives.
