And Jesus never said, “Love your neighbor unless he’s brown.”
Jesus never said, “Love your neighbor except when he is white.”
All Jesus said was “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
CHORUS: We’re made in the image of God, every person.
We’re made in the image of God, every one.

Every single life is precious in His sight,
God looks on the heart. Why don’t we?
