Words and music by joel lindsey & regie hamm      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      (chorus)   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      (repeat chorus)      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
