I was brokenhearted
I was weary and alone
thinking no one felt the same
and scared out on my own
And I was so glad
when they said, “Let’s go
to the house of the HOLY ONE.”
O Spirit, gather us in
gather us into one
Spirit, gather us into one
I was cold and hungry
I was sick and locked in jail
naked and a stranger
wondering if God’s love had failed
And I was so glad
when they said, “Let’s go
to the house of the HOLY ONE.”
O Spirit, gather us in
gather us into one
Spirit, gather us into one
Trapped inside my privilege
scared of all that I might lose
wanting things, yet wanting God
and not knowing how to choose
And I was so glad
when they said, “Let’s go
to the house of the HOLY ONE.”
O Spirit, gather us in
gather us into one
Spirit, gather us into one
I had so much good news
of all that God had done
lifted me up, gave me new life
had to tell someone
I was glad
when they said, “Let’s go
to the house of the HOLY ONE.”
O Spirit, gather us in
O Spirit, gather us in
O Spirit, gather us in
gather us into one
Spirit, gather us into one
