Beloved Community

Old, ancient
  God tries again
And we forget
  just exactly what
We're called to
  we want our own
Way. We want to
  harbor grudges
We forget how good
  it is to forgive and
Be forgiven. How reaching
  out makes us stronger
How a diversity of
  beliefs challenges us
Let us remember what
  we are here to be
In running waters of
  arms open wide
Even if it means our
  on doing because
God is waiting there
  for us already
