Wir alle [English translation]

I am not the judge to judge faith.

I am not entitled to pronounce your verdict.

I look at the speck of sawdust in your eye,

but maybe You see my planks.

From the Near East not only terror and scare.

The poor South yet is also rich.

I estimate wisdom from all countries.

We are different but still are so equal.

The sun shines over us all,

the rain does not miss anyone.

I just wish for everyone, to know the saviour

and call God not only Lord, but father.

Who thinks that he is standing

shall watch out that he doesn´t fall,

forgiveness and grace is what we need, all.

There was a lot of injustice in the name of God,

the good message was missinterpreted

and those who came as a sign for the cross

in their heart often not were converted.

I could cry that might and abuse

are mixed with the message of love,

but the Kingdom of God has other frontiers,

He sees on the hearts and not at the outward appearance.
