We run this race together
The color of our skin
Does not define the person
No, this comes from within
Love does not choose or differ
But pours from heart and soul
And God creates the color
In which to wrap this whole
The color of the body
Is flesh; we all will pass
Like flowers in the garden
To dust beneath the grass
God did not choose one color
To offer Saving Grace
His love extends to one and all
Within the human race
Love does not see skin color
To hate is but to prove
Our ignorance and squalor
And utter need for Love
