This song by the late Peter Scholtes is one of very few songs that I sang as a young person in the Presbyterian church that turns up these days being sung in the Catholic church.
You can hear Jars of Clay do it here. This is a nice folky version by a church. My backing is a little rocked up.
Verse 1
We are one in the Spirit,
we are one in the Lord,
We are one in the Spirit
we are one in the Lord,
And we pray that all unity
may one day be restored:Chorus
And they’ll know we are Christians
By our love, by our love,
Yes, they’ll know we are Christians
By our love.Verse 2
We will walk with each other
we will walk hand in hand
we will walk with each other
we will walk hand in hand
and together we’ll spread the news
that God is in our land:Chorus
Verse 3
We will work with each other
we will work side by side
We will work with each other
We will work side by side
And we’ll guard each man’s dignity
and save each man’s pride:Chorus
Verse 4
All Praise to the Father
from whom all things come,
And all praise to Christ Jesus
His only Son,
and all praise to the Spirit
who makes us all one:Refrain
