Here we are gathered once again under Your Name

Here we are gathered once again under Your Name
Thinking of the ways we all have caused You shame
But we can find consolation in the things that You said
We are all bound in our hearts by a common thread
We look to You who made us one
To give us strength and bring our hearts back to where we ve begun

So together we hold all our hearts out to You
And we all can believe You know just what to do
Heal and forgive us make us all just like new
Jesus we hold our hearts out to You
Jesus we hold our hearts out to You

Sometimes we forget what it is that brings us here
Sometimes we forget what it means to be sincere
And there are times we are bothered when we don t seem to feel
Then we all focus on the One who makes things real
We look around and we feel strong
We feel Your presence then we know that this is where we belong

And when we hold out all our lost and shattered dreams
You will be binding every heart with broken seams
With a warm and loving hand
You understand
