  • 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
