So many people, so many kinds, so many minds
Some people are like cathedrals with sky-scraping steeples
While others are like shacks, one-story higher than the beaten path
But everyone has stories, stories by the dozens
Like the Father’s blessings, greater than the ancient mountains
For the mountains we climb, one day at a time
Time doesn’t slow down, but it lets us down
Time and time again because of our limitations
The only One who’s unlimited is the God of all the Nations
Guiding us, strengthening us, loving us unconditionally
Like the sun rises, God’s love is a certainty
We thrive on it, feed on it, bank on it everyday
But not the same bank that we drop the checks on payday
But today we recognize the price that He paid
The ultimate price, the ultimate expression of His grace
FACE…the facts, His Grace is not selective
He pours it out to all regardless of our transgressions
So whether you’re black, white, red, or brown
We can thank the Lord for wearing the crown
Of thorns, of scorn, for a new hope to be born
A hope for all, a hope for everyone alive
I hope you caught that, but I’ll say it one more time
God’s love is for everyone, regardless of circumstances
You can dance around the truth, but you’ll waste away your chances
Oh, but is your life too hard? No time for Jesus Christ?
Tell that to the apostles who cast their nets aside
They dropped ’em like a rap beat because Christ’s way is better
They committed their lives to Jesus, the only Lord and Savior
He’s not just my Savior; He’s your Savior too
If you don’t believe me, then read His written truth.
The Bible makes it clear, as clear as a crystal gem
Our Salvation is secure as long as we trust in Him
But you’re poor, down-and-out, and you’re drowning in your misery
God’s smiling down at you, saying, “Why don’t you come with me?”
You might be all alone, you might have a thousand friends
You might be a politician, you might be a garbage man
You might be adventurous, you might never take a risk
A dreamer, a homebody, a leaf tossed by every drift
No matter who you are, Christ offers His love to us
Despite our imperfections, our blunders, and our slip-ups
Short people, tall people, ugly, rich or poor
These traits don’t make a difference in the eyes of our loving Lord
High-strung people, lowly people, the healthy and diseased
To the ends of the earth God’s love abounds from west to east
Now it is our job to make it known, how God’s love has no end
Nothing can separate us from the One who never sinned
Trodden people, steeple people, step down from your pedistals
Quit comparing stories—’Cause God’s love for ALL is plentiful!
How has God demonstrated His indiscriminate and infinite love to you?
