God has Mixed Us Like the Sands of the Sea

God has mixed us like the sands of the sea
And has given us life, love, and family
Then one day that's unknown from before
He sends us newness from a neighboring shore

Now consider the possibilities
For growth, enjoyment, and traditions
As we rise to new knowledge and abilities
We can improve our culture and conditions

So, too, we can become corrupted
As some things are stronger than others
And what is good can be interrupted
In the efforts to embrace our new brothers

So we must stay on the solid ground
Where we know there's safety in storms
And lift others to where we are found
To bond with a trust that transforms

For, if we were the ones in newness
Where would we look for safety?
Among those playing in looseness
Or among those risen up safely?

Matthew 7
24 ¶ Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
