Jon Simpson - Make Us One Lyrics

We, the chosen sanctified
Called into a glorious light
From the dark that had us bound
And though one body we should be
We exchange our unity
For fleeting pleasures of the self

Yet our hope is found in You
The perfect Way, the Life, the Truth
And our desire is to be
A restored community

Tear down these walls we've made
By our vain and selfish ways
Sow compassion in our hearts
Open eyes so we might start
To find beauty in us all
And forgiveness when we fall
Unify us in Your love
O God, please make us one

A bond of true transparency
Can pave a way of constancy
Through the wilderness of doubt
Sharing in our joys and pain
Holding fast when none remain
Choosing love over being right

And just as You are three-in-one
Father, Holy Spirit, Son
Work in us so we may be
Realized in unity

Tear down these walls we've made
By our vain and selfish ways
Sow compassion in our hearts
Open eyes so we might start
To find beauty in us all
And forgiveness when we fall
Unify us in Your love
O God, please make us one

If we've gained at all in Christ
If His love has changed our lives
Then through it all we'll be
Standing hand in hand
We say...

O unite us, Lord
Make us one
