Mitch Wong - Togetherness Lyrics
Lyrics
We don't always see eye to eye
And I've been asking for quite some time
Why does that cause such a big divide
Why oh why
All accusations
But no conversations, oh
Way too busy
Burning down bridges
Forgot how to build 'em oh
Lord bring us back to this
You bless, You bless our togetherness
Pour out Your Spirit upon all flesh
We've come, we've come for nothing less
You bless, You bless our togetherness
We're different in more than a million ways
Beautiful colors that bleed the same
A long way to go but we're on our way
We're on our way
Brothers and sisters
In need of forgiveness, oh
Lead us back to Holy religion
Bring death to division
We're ready to listen
Lord bring us back to this
One heart
One people
One hope
One gospel
One mind
One body
One church
Crying Holy
One faith
One baptism
One truth
One commission
One Lord
One Spirit
One God
We will worship

Meaning & Inspiration
"Togetherness," featuring Mitch Wong, Tiffany Hudson, and Joe L Barnes, arrived on July 21, 2023, immediately offering a compelling musical exploration of Christian community and divine presence. The song articulates the profound sense of belonging found not merely in shared physical space, but in the spiritual bond that unites believers through Christ. It captures the journey of faith as something inherently collective, acknowledging that life's path, with its inevitable challenges and triumphs, is navigated with others who share the same anchor. This message goes beyond simple camaraderie, pointing towards the deeper truth of being knitted together by divine love and purpose, a unity that strengthens individuals as they walk together. The collaboration of Wong, Hudson, and Barnes crafts a rich sonic landscape; their voices, each distinct yet harmonizing beautifully, convey both vulnerability and unwavering hope, reflecting the diverse parts of the body of Christ coming together. The musical arrangement likely supports this narrative, building from moments of intimate reflection to a broader, shared declaration of faith. The song powerfully embodies the biblical call to unity found in Ephesians 4:3, urging us to "make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." It brings to life the assurance Jesus gives in Matthew 18:20, "where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them," celebrating the tangible reality of God's presence within Christian fellowship. Furthermore, "Togetherness" serves as a melodic reminder of the mutual care described in Galatians 6:2 – "bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" – highlighting the strength and support inherent in journeying together. It’s a worshipful expression of the living, breathing community depicted in Acts 2:42, where early believers found strength and shared life in devotion, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Ultimately, the song celebrates the reality of being part of something larger than ourselves, a unified body where, just as 1 Corinthians 12 describes, each member is essential, and where love for one another is the distinguishing mark, as Jesus taught in John 13:35. "Togetherness" stands as a powerful invitation to embrace the richness of shared faith and the unwavering presence of God found within it.
