Notes from Wikiquote
Who seeks to shackle, cloud, or fog the mind | By fears of hell has not perceived our goal. | God-sent are all religions blest | And Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life | To give the heavy laden rest | And peace from sorrow, sin, and strife. | Behold the Universal Spirit came | To all the churches, not to one alone | On Pentecostal morn a tongue of flame | Round each apostle as a halo shone. | Since then, as vultures ravenous with greed | We oft have battled for an empty name | And sought by dogma, edict, cult, or creed | To send each other to the quenchless flame. | Is Christ then twain? Was Cephas, Paul | To save the world, nailed to the tree? | Then why divisions here at all? | Christ's love enfolds both you and me. | His pure sweet love is not confined | By creed which segregate and raise a wall. | His love enfolds, embraces human kind | No matter what ourselves or Him we call. | Then why not take Him at His word? | Why hold to creeds which tear apart? | But one thing matters, be it heard | That brother love fill every heart. | There's but one thing the world has need to know. | There's but one balm for all our human woe | There's but one way that leads to heaven above-- | That way is human sympathy and love. | Source: rosicrucian.com
