When I was in high school mixed chorus, we sang the song with the lyrics,
“No man is an island, no man stands alone.” (Peter Schickele)
It was a pretty song. Furthermore:
Nobody is a whole chain. Each one is a link. But take away one link and the chain is broken.
Nobody is a whole orchestra. Each one is a musician. But take away one musician and the symphony is incomplete.
We need each other. You need someone and someone needs you.
To make this thing called life work, we gotta lean and support. And reach out and embrace.
Especially in the God family . . . where working together is needed for survival.
Love each other with brotherly affection and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy in your work but serve the Lord enthusiastically. Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and prayerful always. When God's children are in need, you be the one to help them out. And get into the habit of inviting guests home for dinner or, if they need lodging, for the night. -Rom. 12:10–13
