Each and All

God cares about each little soul like me,
and I'm responsible for my own soul,
God cares a lot about society,
for each of us and also for the whole.

We are to love each person that we meet,
and also each community we're part of,
without our aid, God's work is incomplete
in saving souls and groups that He's the heart of.

Those people and those groups help save us too,
responsible for us as we for them,
we're all interdependent like a crew,
our good they praise, our evil they condemn.

O God, Who loves us each and socially,
may we love You through others who we see.
