The Second Commandment is:
"Love your neighbor as yourself,"
But we don't ...
We allow our differences
To spring up between us.
We build high walls of suspicion ...
And hide behind our barriers of hostility ...
We would rather cross the street
Than meet each other face to face

We have broken our promise to love our neighbors,
We have broken the world,
We are breaking our Father's heart,
And yet He goes on loving us

He calls us to break down the barriers
To demolish the walls that separate us;
To reach out our hands to each other
And to restore our unity ...
He calls us to turn from bitterness
And start again ...
