Excepts from a hymn text I love to sing by David Bjorlin
Build a longer table, not a higher wall,
feeding those who hunger, making room for all.
Build a safer refuge, not a larger jail;
where the weak find shelter, mercy will not fail.
Build a broader doorway, not a longer fence.
Love protects all people, sparing no expense.
So must our tables welcome those who roam.
None can be excluded; all must find a home.
