Gather at the River Lyrics

Sometimes we don't see eye to eye
We don't agree, we don't know why
But Jesus prayed that we'd be one
So for the sake of God's own sonCan we put away our differences
Lay down our pride
I think it's time we start turning the tideShall we gather at the river of forgiveness
Come together at the waters of love
Flowing like a fountain from the mercy giver
Shall we gather at the riverWe have all made enemies of
The ones we're called by Christ to love
But there's redemption at the riverside
The water's deep, the water's wideIt can wash away our bitterness
The current is strong
I think we've been out in the desert too longShall we gather at the river of forgiveness
Come together at the waters of love
Flowing like a fountain from the mercy giver
Shall we gather at the riverWe can wade into the middle where the healing waters flow
It only takes a little to heal a wounded soul

It will only bring us closer than we've ever been before
This is just what Jesus was praying forShall we gather at the river of forgiveness
Come together at the waters of love
Flowing like a fountain from the mercy giver
Shall we gatherShall we gather, gather at the river
Come together at the waters of love
Flowing like a fountain from the mercy giver
Shall we gather at the riverShall we gather at the river of forgiveness
Come together at the waters of love
Flowing like a fountain from the mercy giver
Shall we gather at the river, gather at the river
Gather at the river, gather at the river
