Gather At the River

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 Son Can we put away our differences Lay down our pride I think it's time we start turning the tide Chorus: Shall 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 We have all made enemies of The ones we're call by Christ to love But there's redemption at the riverside The water's deep, the water's wide It can wash away our bitterness The current is strong I think we've been out in the desert too long Chorus We 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 for Chorus
