[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C F G C
Because the Saviour prayed, ‘May they be one,’
C Am Dm7 E
and taught his friends to say, ‘Your will be done’,
E A Dm7 G
we own our need to live by God’s own word
G C C/E G C
and walk together following Christ our Lord.
[Verse 2]
G C F G C
Our narrow loyalties have had the day
C Am Am E
these separate paths evading Jesus’ way:
E A Dm7 G
We sadly own the scars that mar the past
G C C/E G C
yet gladly seek the road God made to last.
[Verse 3]
G C F G C
We are our Saviour’s body: Christ the head,
C Am Am E
first born of God, first risen from the dead.
E A Dm7 G
Competing, we debase his holy will;
G C C/E G C
engaging, his intention we fulfil.
[Verse 4]
G C F G C
So, guide us, Lord, and take us by the hand,
C Am7 Dm7 Am E
and show us how to love and understand;
E A Dm7 G
reveal, within the differences we share,
G C C/E G C
the pattern of your glory, grace and care.
[Verse 5]
G C F G C
And when our journey here has reached its end,
C Am7 Dm7 Am E
and strangers are the pilgrims you intend,
E A Dm7 G
may we as one, forgiving and forgiven,
G C C/E G C
enjoy you in the harmony of heaven.
