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
 
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
 
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 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

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, gather at the river

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 

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

Gather at the river...
