The curtain ripped, the walls tumbling
law fulfilled, obsolete divisions
by works no more are we measured
by the food we eat, by our company
forevermore, by grace alone
brought into relationship, brought to God
all who fear him, all who call him by name
all saved by our brother, the gift of his blood
we become our brother, for the world
when we tear down the walls
and reach out to our neighbors
becoming Christ’s forgiving love
to all we meet
