WE COME TOGETHER with a holy purpose
We come together for the highest cause
We speak one language from a heart of worship
Gathered to bring the song to the world
For Your glory
With one voice we will sing
Every tribe and every tonnegue
Brings a harmony
With one voice we will bring
Heaven’s beautiful melody down to this earth
As we sing to our King
With one voice
Oceans divide us but we sing together
Now what defines us is our love of You
From every nation and across all borders
Gathered to bring the song to the world
For Your glory
So come on come on and join the song
Our God our God is on the throne
Come on come on and join the song
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah our God reigns
Let us all rejoice
With one voice we will bring
Heaven’s beautiful melody down to this earth
As we sing to our King
With one voice
Hallelujah our God reigns
Let us all rejoice
Sing hallelujah
Sing His praise
Let us all rejoice
