Join Hands Together

Don’t judge for what’s on the outside.
Look inside for what is within.
Don’t judge me for the language,
Or the color of my skin.
Just because I am different,
It doesn’t make me bad.
Because on the inside,
I am the same as you and for that,
You should be glad.
So don’t treat me as your enemy—
Treat me as your friend,
Because we can have a friendship
That never comes to an end.
Hate is a waste,
And should be thrown away.
I hope the world will come to realize this.
Join hands together and say:
“Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those
Who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen.”
