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 is a prayer for unity amid disagreement, accusation, and division. The verses do not deny real differences; instead, they contrast broken communication with the shared dignity of people made to live as brothers and sisters. The chorus asks God to bless communal life and pour out the Spirit, placing reconciliation within the work of God rather than treating it as a merely social achievement. References to forgiveness and listening add practical dimensions to that prayer.
The closing sequence gathers the song around repeated Christian confessions: one body, one church, one faith, one baptism, one Lord, and one Spirit. That language strongly echoes Paul’s appeal for believers to preserve unity in Ephesians. The request for the Spirit to be poured upon all flesh also recalls Joel’s prophecy and its use in Acts. By moving from conflict toward shared worship and mission, the lyric presents Christian unity as a gift to receive and a calling to embody.
