Give respect to humankind (Vol 2 No 60)

Giving respect to humankind

Is wise and good for there we find

Images of the God we praise

And love expressed in countless ways.

Giving respect to humankind

Can help us all to leave behind

Thoughts of revenge and words of spite;

Can prompt resolve to re-unite.

Giving respect to humankind

Arises from our heart and mind;

As we reflect on those we know

May caring thoughts have constant flow.

Giving respect to humankind

Is Jesus’ theme; His word defined

How we might live affirming all

The human beauty in us all.

So let us honour humankind;

With God’s own image, so combined,

We find ourselves equipped to prize

The gentle, lovely, kind and wise.
