We're Your Sons and Your Daughters

By John Brown, St. John the Beloved Cathedral, San Diego, CA

We're your sons
And your daughters,
We're your brothers,
And your sisters,
We are members of your churches
And we love Jesus too.
We share the love of Jesus
To everyone far and wide
For we are gay and we are Christian
Who love Jesus, just like you.

We're your neighbors,
We're your family,
We're your friends
and we're your buddies,
We're your teammates,
We're your room mates,
and your coworkers too,
We struggle to pay the mortgage
And to see the bills paid too,
And we are gay and we are Christians
Who love Jesus, just like you.

We are proud of who God made us,
We are proud that He has saved us,
We are proud that He has called us.
And we are proud to serve Him too,
We are proud that Christ receives us
And His arms are open wide
To all who will receive Him
gay, straight, or otherwise.

We're your sons
And your daughters,
We're your brothers,
And your sisters,
We are members of your churches
And we love Jesus too.
We share the love of Jesus
To everyone far and wide
For we are gay and we are Christian
Who love Jesus, just like you.
