Lord have Mercy
Christ have Mercy
Lord have Mercy

Where Scripture says ‘and a little child will lead them’
Believe it possible that child could have Downs Syndrome, or additional needs in some way.

Where Scripture says ‘You knew me in my mother’s womb’
Believe it possible that God knows every gene, every chromosome in every individual.

Where Scripture says we are each the temple of the Holy Spirit
Believe in the possibility of each unique temple.

Lord have Mercy
Christ have Mercy
Lord have Mercy

Glory to God, for the diversity of creation;
Glory to God in Christ for the diversity of human beings;
Glory to God, Creator, Son and Spirit, for living and celebrating diversity in the Godhead, now and forever.

In our life and our believing
The love of God
