Lyrics
MY PEOPLE, ALL PEOPLE (Janis Kelly © 2018)
Jesus loves the little children, all the little children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world!
I stand for my people,
So I stand for ALL people!
Small or mighty, weak or strong;
It’s our birthright to belong;
All people, My people!
I live for my people
So I live for ALL people!
Every culture, every creed,
Every gift and every need;
All people, My people!
If these words I say are true, we’re just the same, me and you
And I must always lift my voice, must lend a hand!
I cannot look the other way, miss one single chance to say,
“All God’s children have the right to walk this land!”
I believe in my people,
So I believe in ALL people!
Those who love me, those who don’t,
Those who see me, those who won’t,
All people, My people!
All people, My people!
All people, ooh yeah–
My people!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh!
Let my people go!
