The Gathering Lyrics

Walk In Love

when I wake up in the morning
I’m gonna walk in love
when the evening sun is falling
I’m gonna walk in love
Through the troubles of the day
Am gonna walk in love
O’ whatever comes my way
Am gonna walk in love
Brother Sister let us work in love
Oooo, Am gonna walk in love
Singing Alleluia, we shall overcome
Oooo, Am gonna walk in love
When my brother his back on me
Am gonna walk in love
When my Enemy attacks
Gonna walk in love
when i feel i dont belong
Am gonna walk in love
with no strength to carry on
Gonna walk in love
Brother, Sister let us walk in love
Oooo, Am gonna walk in love
Singing Alleluia we shall overcome
Oooo, gonna walk in love (2 times)
we shall come together we shall live as one
Ooooo, gonna walk in love
for giving in ourselves when we shall rise soon
Oooo, gonna walk in love ×2
Brother, Sister let us walk in love
Oooo I’m gonna walk in love
Singing Alleluia we shall overcome
Oooo, gonna walk in love
Ooooo, we shall come together we shall live as one
Oooo, gonna walk in love
For giving in ourselves when we shall rise soon
Ooooo, gonna walk in love

Run to The Father

I’ve carried a burden
For too long on my own
I wasn’t created
To bear it alone
I hear Your invitation
To let it all go
Yeah, I see it now
I’m laying it down
And I know that I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, oh

You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
And I don’t have a context
For that kind of love
I don’t understand
I can’t comprehend
All I know is I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again

Oh, oh
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh (oh)

My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
And I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
And I know I need You now

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
And my heart found a surgeon
My soul found a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again

Oh, oh
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, oh
Again and again

Tin Roof

Maybe the streets are gold
And there’s a table with plenty room
Maybe we don’t grow old
And we got nothing to lose
Maybe in the promised land
There’s a choir when you walk through
Oh, but I pray heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

Maybe the sun don’t set
And the waters don’t rise
Maybe we don’t forget
How to laugh like a child
Maybe in the promised land
We’re all made for what we do
Oh, but I pray heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

Washing away
Washing away my sorrows
Giving me faith
Giving me faith to follow
A new tomorrow
They tell me in the promised land
There are mansions to choose
Oh, but I pray heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

Maybe time stands still
And mountains just move
Maybe we all have wings
And there’s only good news, yes
They say the living water
Is the fountain of youth
Oh, but I pray heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

Washing away (washing away)
Washing away my sorrows
Giving me faith (giving me faith)
Giving me faith to follow
A new tomorrow
Yeah, in the promised land
There are mansions for me and you
Oh, but I pray heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof
I pray heaven is like
Rain on a tin roof

God Really Loves Us

I’ve got a friend
Closer than a brother
There is no judgement
Oh, how He loves me
I’ve got a friend

And He is my strength
He is my portion
With me in the valley
With me in the fire
With me in the storm

Let all my life testify

Hallelujah
We are not alone
God really loves us
God really loves us
Hallelujah
Oh, praise my soul
God really loves us
God really loves us

His mercy’s enough
His grace is sufficient
So come if you’re needing
Forgiveness or healing
His mercy’s enough

Oh, and this is our hope
The cross, it has spoken
Death is no more
Christ is the Lord
Oh, this is our hope, yeah

Hallelujah
We are not alone
God really loves us
God really loves us
Hallelujah
Oh, praise my soul
God really loves us (yes, He does)
God really loves us

And oh-oh, oh-oh
Sing oh-oh, oh-oh
Scream (oh-oh)

What a Father
What a Friend
What a Savior He is (sing oh-oh)
What a Father
What a Friend
What a Savior He is

Hallelujah
We are not alone
God really loves us
God really loves us
Hallelujah
Oh, praise my soul
God really loves us
Oh, God really loves us (yes)

What a Father
What a Friend
What a Savior He is (thank you, Jesus)
What a Father
What a Friend
What a Savior He is (oh)
What a Father
What a Friend
What a Savior He is
What a Father
What a Friend
What a Savior He is
