unity

Snippet

Are we a bag of Marbles or a bag of grapes? A Bag Marbles rolls around and grates on one another, making lots of noise.

Or are we A bag of grapes that presses together, squishing, bleeding and intermingling?

Scripture

I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. John 17:20,21 NLT

Song

THE CIRCLE SONG

By Mark Vickstrom

CHORUS

We are all united here / in a circle God created

Help us make it through our lives / fulfill the promise in our hearts The cirlce is often tangled / its members confused and bewildered

But the bond is never broken / love flows endlessly

In a circle of God's love

We are all united here / in a circle God created

Help us make it through our lives / fulfill the promise in our hearts From those around us we gain strength / in times of need we are cared for

We can not be separated by distance, death or time / for unity exists within our hearts and souls and minds

We are all united here / in a circle God created

Help us make it through our lives / fulfill the promise in our hearts

The joys and sorrows we all share / will never tear us apart

They will keep us close together / we will be bound forever

In a circle of God's love

We are all united here / in a circle God created

Help us make it through our lives / fulfill the promise in our hearts
