Help Us Accept Each Other

Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Christian Initiation of Adults Lyrics: 1 Help us accept each other As Christ accepted us; Teach us as sister, brother, Each person to embrace. Be present, Lord, among us, And bring us to believe We are ourselves accepted And meant to love and live. 2 Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, As in our daily life We struggle to be human And search for hope and faith. Teach us to care for people, For all, not just for some; To love them as we find them, Or, as they may become. 3 Let your acceptance change us, So that we may be moved In living situations To do the truth in love; To practice your acceptance, Until we know by heart The table of forgiveness And laughter's healing art. 4 Lord, for today's encounters With all who are in need, Who hunger for acceptance, For righteousness and bread, We need new eyes for seeing, New hands for holding on; Renew us with your Spirit; Lord, free us, make us one! Scripture: John 15:12 Used With Tune: KING'S LYNN
