ONE FAMILY

Verse 1
Does it really matter what we call ourselves,
as long as he’s the one who first called us?
Why spend all our time fighting among ourselves,
when he called us to spread his love?
Remember his message to us:

Chorus
We are one family, in the Lord,
that’s how it’s meant to be, in the Lord,
working hand in hand,
to make him known throughout the world.
So let’s just stop and face each other –
it’s like looking in a mirror,
recognize our similarities.
Yes, it’s time to come together,
we can make things even better,
try to be what he meant us to be:
one family.

Verse 2
Does it really matter how we pray or sing,
as long as it’s his name on our lips?
Just enjoy the way he made us different but the same,
’cause he made us to be like him.
Don’t forget what he made us to be:

Chorus
We are one family, in the Lord,
that’s how it’s meant to be, in the Lord,
working hand in hand,
to make him known throughout the world.
So let’s just stop and face each other –
it’s like looking in a mirror,
recognize our similarities.
Yes, it’s time to come together,
we can make things even better,
try to be what he meant us to be:
one family.

Final Chorus
We are one family, in the Lord,
that’s how it’s meant to be, in the Lord,
working hand in hand,
to make him known throughout the world.
So let’s just stop and face each other –
it’s like looking in a mirror,
recognize our similarities.
Yes, it’s time to come together,
we can make things even better,
try to be what he meant us to be:
one family, oh, ___
one family!
