Sing as one.

 Sing as One

A Reflection on Psalm 133:1, Romans 15:5-6, and Revelation 5:13

How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity! (Psalm 133:1)

Sing as one—not a solo voice alone,

But a chorus of the redeemed before the throne.

From every tribe, from every tongue,

From the young and old, the old and young.

Sing as one—not a discordant sound,

But a harmony of grace that knows no bounds.

The Spirit blends our hearts as one,

A symphony of praise to the Son.

One voice, one song, one anthem raised,

To the One who is worthy of all praise.

The melody of mercy, the rhythm of grace,

The harmony of hope in every place.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 15:5-6)

Sing as one—the nations, the tribes,

The saints of old, the ones alive.

The voices of heaven, the voices of earth,

All declare the Savior's worth.

Sing as one—with joy and with tears,

With faith that conquers all our fears.

Through the valleys, through the peaks,

Through the silence, through the shrieks.

Sing as one—the church universal,

The body of Christ, the new life eternal.

We are not many, but we are one,

One in the Spirit, one in the Son.

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: "To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" (Revelation 5:13)

So let us sing as one—not in our own strength,

But in the unity of the Spirit, the length and breadth.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God,

One song of praise that we all trod.

Sing as one—and the world will see,

The love of Christ, the unity.

Sing as one—and the enemy will flee,

For in our unity, victory.

Sing as one—and never stop,

Until we reach the mountaintop.

One voice, one heart, one song,

To the One who makes us strong.

Sing as one.

Amen.
