LABELS

Snippet

“Once you label me you negate me.” ― Søren Kierkegaard

Scripture

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[a] you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. James 2:8,9 NIV

No Labels by Debroah Cox

[Verse 1]

We may not understand this whole process and how things go

I'm just an ordinary woman tryna live free and god knows

See a man with a blue tie

See a man with a red tie

So how about we tie ourselves together and get it done

Do what's right for America

And all we ask from you is some honesty

And motivation give us something we believe

I'm only one woman with a voice to something we got in common

Need a model well then look at me

[Chorus]

He's a democrat

He's republican

There's a fight and a race who's gonna win

Put your differences aside man if you can

Cos there's way too many people suffering

I wish they didn't have no labels

There'd be more change with no labels

[Verse 2]

My kids will grow up soon

Your kids will grow up too

Wouldn't you like to see them raised up next to good hospitals and good schools

Don't want 'em in a juvenile facility or growing up with mental disabilities

When all this time you could've made a difference but you decided to roll with the party

Are you kidding me

Cos all we ask from you is some honesty

And motivation give us something we believe

I'm only one man with a voice to something we got in common

Need a model well then look at me

Sentence Prayer

O Lord, we pray that you will hasten the time

when no man shall live in contentment

While he knows his neighbor has need. 

Inspire in us and in all men the

Consciousness that we are not our own

But yours and our neighbor’s; for His sake,

That he prayed that we might all be one

In –Christ Jesus our Lord.  Amen

(Short prayers for the long day Giles and Melville Harcourt)
