Gathered As One

MP3 Music Playlist: 
It's funny how inspiration comes. I was listening to a Tears for Fears song and picked up my guitar to learn the main riff. Then my tinkering took a turn, and I started playing a waltz tempo with entirely different chords! :) Earlier in the day I had asked God for some inspiration for a new Communion song because I didn't like the ones suggested in the Lifeteen Liturgy Planning Guide, and saw that I had a limited set of "standards." 

In any case, God provided, so I wanted to share the song here. It's called "Gathered As One" and it's inspired by God's call to all of us to the Body of Christ. As usual, I've provided the ChordPro notation, so if you'd like to use this, all you need to do is copy/paste the text below into a text or .pro file and/or load it into a ChordPro compatible app like Songsheet Generator.
