The noise of storms and harsh alarms
Shouts of treason and heresy
We burn ourselves down to the ground
Trading friends for enemies
Through a storm of lies and blinded eyes
We strain to see each other honestly
Demanding a sign but speaking unkind
Without patience or humility
But make us
One body, one spirit
Created in one hope
With one lord and one faith
One baptism, one God and father
Over all, through all in all
All our rancor shows in broken windows
Shattered glass in the streets
While leaders of hate in a violent state
Their vulgar words are indiscreet
A people misguided in a house divided
Laid to waste we cannot stand
Unworthy of the call with no love at all
We withhold a helping hand
But make us
One body, one spirit
Created in one hope
With one lord and one faith
One baptism, one God and father
Over all, through all in all
Based on the lectionary reading for today - Ephesians 4:1-16
