Creed or Christ?
No man loves God who hates his
kind,
Who tramples on his Brother's heart and
soul.
Who seeks to shackle, cloud or fog the
mind
By fears of Hell has not perceived our
goal.
God-sent are all religions
blest;
And Christ, the Way, the Truth and
Life,
To give the heavy-laden
rest,
And peace from Sorrow, Sin and
Strife.
At his request the Universal Spirit
came
To
all the churches, not to one
alone.
On Pentecostal morn a tongue of
flame
Round each apostle as a halo shone.
Since then, as vultures ravenous with
greed,
We oft have battled for an empty
name,
And sought by Dogma, Edict,
Creed,
To send each other to the
flame.
Is Christ then divided? Was Cephas or
Paul
Nailed to the deathly
tree?
If not—then why these divisions at
all?
Christ's love doth embrace you and
me.
His pure sweet love is not
confined
By creeds which segregate and raise a
wall;
His love enfolds, embraces
Humankind
No matter what ourselves or Him we
call.
Then why not take Him at His
word?
Why hold to creeds which tear
apart?
But one thing matters, be it
heard,
That brother-love fill every
heart.
There is but one thing that the world
has need to know;
There is but one balm for all our human
woe
There is but one way that leads to
heaven above;
That way is human sympathy and
love.
