Gather Us Together
Owen Alsott

Sung on this track by the LIME cantor.

Refrain:
Lord, Jesus Christ, gather us together.
Make us one bread, one body in your love.

Verse 1:
Gather your people, who long to be one,
one with you, O Lord, in truth and love.

Verse 2
We do proclaim you the Savior of the all,
Lord of all the earth and sea and sky.

Verse 3:
Forgive our failings, create us anew.
Speak y our words of peace into our hearts.

Verse 4:
Into your hands, Lord, we place all our cares,
trusting in your love which never fails.

Verse 5:
Within your temple your praises we sing.
Glorious is your name o’er all the earth.
