Gather Together

 

I’m rather into solitude
By instinct and nature.
I love to visit now and then,
but home’s what I prefer.
 
Yet, You have called us to gather,
Together as a church.
Offering support to the whole,
Not sitting on our perch.
 
It’s not as easy as it sounds
For some of us to do,
In fact, I’d never even try
If it were not for You.
 
But You left Your throne far behind
To gather with the lost
And teach us how to truly love;
A blessing, with a cost.
 
You gave us each the choice to make:
To gather in Your name,
And learn to love like family,
Or live in sin and shame.
 
Lord, since I choose to follow You,
I’ll learn to gather, too.
It can’t compare to what You gave,
But I’ll do it for You!
 
Ephesians 2: 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
