Gather At The River Lyrics

Gather At The River lyrics

Words and music by joel lindsey & regie hamm



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 called 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



(repeat 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
