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
She had her father's blue eyes He left home before she arrived Mama named her Grace Just getting by on their own When Grace was fifteen, she ran from home One December day Grace is lost and alone in a world as cold as stone God is counting on us to reach her with his love
Chorus It's all about saving Grace All about living love Being Jesus to those he came to save Sharing life and giving our own away It's all about serving God All about saving Grace
She'd never darken the doors of any church She would say, "What for . . . no one there would care for me" We have to go where she lives Simply show her who Jesus is Watch him set her free For grace flows down from above And faith requires a selfless love For a world that's dying to see the hope in you and me
- Chorus -
Bridge There are countless millions just like Grace Who need a merciful embrace They won't believe our God is real until they feel his touch
