SHALL WE LEARN TO BE FRIENDS

Time: 4:11 / Words and Music by Ken Medema/Fred Bock Music/ASCAP

You are my sister, even when I do not know you.
You are my brother, even when I do not show you.
You're in my family. In Christ, you're kin to me.
Now you are one with me.
Shall we learn to be friends.

You are my mother, when I fall and when I'm hurting.
You are my father, please forgive me my deserting
You're in my family. In Christ, you're kin to me.
Now you are one with me.
Shall we learn to be friends.

Bridge
I need you near me when my hope is gone.
Come lift me up and help me carry on.
Then when you're weak you'll find me by your side,
To comfort you and see you through.

You are my daughter, it matters not your race or nation.
You are my son, my own, may we embrace in celebration.
You're in my family. In Christ, you're kin to me.
Now you are one with me.
Shall we learn to be friends.
