No Favorite Child by Dave Martin
​
Show me a young boy, foreign in race
And I will show you your brother.
A woman not born near this place:
Look in the eyes of your mother.
Surely, I tell you we are all the children who
Can seek and find Him and know Him too.

But there is no favorite child.
A place set for you and for me.
There is no favored tribe.
One circle of humanity.
There is no favorite child.
One circle of humanity.

Are we the lucky ones with plenty and peace
Or do our earthly ties bind us?
Do we see children of God everyplace
Or do all our close comforts blind us?
We may be favored and we may be blessed
But if we keep ours will we later be last?

No, there is no favorite child.
A place set for you and for me.
There is no favored tribe.
One circle of humanity.
There is no favorite child.
One circle of humanity.
