For a time, they stand,
separating, dividing, us from each other
each of us from God
not of divine making
human walls
Sometimes we are the ones
setting ourselves apart from God,
that we are not good enough,
unworthy of forgiveness,
undeserving of love
that we ourselves are the ones
who are not in the tent,
not part of the community
God’s words, in the scripture,
from the Rock
break down the barrier of the race
the people no longer only worthy
all who fear are welcome,
all who call
all who turn to God saved
That means us too
believe with your faith
let the walls fall
