Your eyes, your culture, and your difference are not worthless
In actuality, our diversity has divine purpose
Purposed for the eternal kingdom
A redemptive perspective of what we’ll see walking into heaven
A time when the celebration of who we are is not at the sake of another
When yellow black and brown are special ingredients expressed in color
A beautiful gaze—of different arm skin tones in worship we raise
In worship we praise
As the King of Kings walks in, he’s compassionate to redeem all
Including racism—a product of the fall
So as we wait for that day with grace truth and love
Understand that the differences you see in the mirror are a masterpiece ordained from above
