Why Can't All God's Children Get Along?

Karen Peck and New River have a song out called Why Can't All God's Children Get Along?  This song is so poignant and spot on.  Read the words.  Go on, I'll wait.

WHY CAN’T ALL GOD’S CHILDREN GET ALONG
CHORUS
WHY CAN’T ALL GOD’S CHILDREN GET ALONG?
WE CAN’T ALL BE RIGHT, WE CAN’T ALL BE WRONG
WE’RE JUST DIFFERENT SINGERS IN THE SAME ‘OL SONG
WHY CAN’T ALL GOD’S CHILDREN GET ALONG
V1
RED AND YELLOW BLACK BROWN AND WHITE
WE ALL LOOK THE SAME IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT
HOOPIN’ AND HOLLERIN’ PUTTIN’ UP THE FIGHT
DARK DAYS ARE COMIN’ I CAN SEE THE LIGHT
V2
ONCE UPON A TIME THINGS WERE SUNNY AND BLUE
THE WORLD WAS A GARDEN BUT THERE WERE ONLY TWO
FOUR CAME ALONG WITH THEIR OWN POINT OF VIEW
IF IT’S GONNA GET GOOD, IT’S UP TO ME AND YOU.

Did you see that?  We are just different singers in the same song, we all look the same in the dead of the night.  How true all that is.   So next time you start getting irritated with your brother or sister in your church family, think about this song.  Is it that important to be right?  Did what they said or did mean enough that it will change your salvation?  The only thing that will change your attitude is you.

I am glad I have different people in my life.  I have some that keeps me on my toes, some that I can fall back on and some I can observe and be amused by.  Sometimes I shake my head at people, but I try hard not to worry about what they say or do.  God will sort it out for us.
