2010 VERSION

The Lord has brought us together,

For us to learn His true way;

With the Spirit’s love and guidance,

All of His Word we’ll obey;

The love of God’s worth rememb’ring,

Ever His praises we’ll sing,

Though we must part for the moment,

No sorrow our spirits mar;

We’ll strive to keep His commandments,

And spread His glory afar.

His truth is found in His Spirit,

Forever it will abide;

One faith to keep, with God leading,

We will for Him ever strive;

Spreading the gospel and seeking

To bring the lost unto Him,

Praying for others in Spirit;

Tho’ parted we’re of one heart;

Bear spiritual gifts for His glory;

In heaven we’ll never part.

PROPOSED VERSION

Jesus has brought us together,

teaching the truth and the way.

Joined in one heart and one Spirit, 

all of His will we obey;

(Line 5, Version 1) O for the love of the Savior, 

(Line 5, Version 2) Moved by the love of the Savior

build up the body of Christ;

Parting is but for a moment, 

grieve not, the Lord doth abide;


Strive to observe His commandments, 

hine for the Lord far and wide.

Truth we shall keep, never wav'ring, 

steadfast and faithful we'll be;

One faith, one hope of our calling, 

one God, one Lord we believe.

Strive far and wide for the gospel, 

win precious souls for our God. 

Distance is but for a moment, 

pray'r shall unite us in love;

Bearing the fruit of the Spirit, 

we look to heaven above.
