1 There are no limits to God’s love,
aside from those we put in place
because of fear, or hate or greed,
then justified by race or creed.
2 The walls that we would seek to build,
around our nations or our thoughts ,
the borders we patrol and police,
are breached by God’s own grace and peace.
3 The ones we would exclude or hurt
are fellow children on this earth,
are sisters, brothers, all of worth,
and sharing human life and birth.
4 Beyond our earthly thoughts and ways,
transcending barriers we erect,
there is not one beyond God’s grace,
all should be welcome in this place.
