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. 21 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

WITH ONE VOICE STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN

We come together with a holy purpose

We come together for the highest cause

We speak one language from a heart of worship

Gathered to bring a song to the world

for Your glory

With one voice we will sing

Every tribe and every tongue

brings a harmony

With one voice we will bring

Heaven’s beautiful melody down to this earth

As we sing to our King

with one voice

Oceans divide us

but we sing together

Now what defines us is our love of You

From every nation and across all borders

gathered to bring a song to the world

for Your glory

With one voice we will sing

Every tribe and every tongue

Brings a harmony

With one voice we will bring

Heaven’s beautiful melody down to this earth

As we sing to our King

With one voice

Come on come on and join the song

Our God our God is on the throne

Come on come on and join the song

Hallelujah hallelujah

Come on come on and join the song

Our God our God is on the throne

Come on come on and join the song

Hallelujah

Hallelujah, our God reigns

Let us all rejoice

With one voice we will bring

Heaven’s beautiful melody down to this earth

As we sing, sing to our King

With one voice

With one voice

Hallelujah, our God reigns

Let us all rejoice

Sing hallelujah

Sing His praise

Let us all rejoice

Sing hallelujah, our God reigns

Let us all rejoice

Sing hallelujah

Sing His praise

Let us all rejoice
