ONE Race, ONE Blood

Big lips,
Blue eyes,
Dark skin,
Skinny hips,
Thick thighs,
Pointy nose,
Straight hair,
Small eyes,
The definition of race is: a class of people with a specific identity and culture.
Sharing the same characteristics, for the most part the same beliefs, the same traditions,
Looking the same and talking the same.
One race.
But in the race for Christ the only thing that matters is the blood,
Is so......so........ je ne sais quoi
Because what it does is changes our identity,
No matter how we look, what language we talk, no matter how we look,
Once we tap into His blood,
One songwriter puts it "doesn't matter what colour You are as long as Your blood was red"
Once we repent confess and accept,
Once His blood runs through our veins,
We change, the race no longer matters,
The race becomes irrelevant and insignificant,
The race becomes about the endurance and not speed,
We conform,
To His likeness,
On our lips is the language of love,
On our faces is the countenance of peace,
In our hearts is that joy unexplainable,
We become a peculiar people,
Set aside to stand out,
We become living ornaments of worship,
We are slow to judge and quick to forgive,
We become a spiritual class of people,
Our spiritual DNA runs from the cross at Calvary,
That blood we partake of as was written in 1 Corinthians 11:25,
We drink, we believe,
We are no longer bound to the races, beliefs or traditions of this world,
But BORN AGAIN,
Receiving a blood transfusion,
To be one in Him,
To be under God,
ONE race, with ONE blood running through our veins,
Who's blood is in your veins?
Who's your Daddy?
