Lyrics
Let us draw near to each other
We are one, we are one
We are all sisters and brothers
Telling stories of our Father’s love
You’ve got a place at the table
A family where you belong
So, open your arms if you’re able
Welcome home! Welcome home!
Let us draw near to each other
We are one, we are one
We are all sisters and brothers
At the feast of our Father’s love
We can come weary and burdened
With the weight of the world on our backs
We can hand it all over to Jesus
Find our rest, find our rest
So, let us draw near to each other
We are one, we are one
We are all sisters and brothers
Living free in our Father’s love
Travelers, misfits, and exiles
Don’t grow cold in the dark of night
Gather for hope and for comfort
In His light, in His light
Let us draw near to each other
We are one, we are one
We are all sisters and brothers
Warming hands by the fire of His love
We are one, one, one
By His love, love, love
We are one, one, one
By His love, love, love
Shaped by the hands of the potter
No two pieces alike
But when we build a shelter together
We will shine, we will shine
Let us draw near to each other
We are one, we are one
We are all sisters and brothers
Telling stories of our Father’s love
Let us draw near to each other
We are one, we are one
We are all sisters and brothers
Telling stories of our Father’s love
We’ll tell the stories of our Father’s love
We’ll tell the stories of our Father’s love

Meaning & Inspiration
“We Are One” presents Christian community as a family gathered around the Father’s love. Images of a shared table, welcome, fire, and shelter give belonging a concrete shape. Weariness and burdens are brought to Jesus, while travelers, misfits, and exiles find hope among sisters and brothers. The song’s unity does not erase difference; its potter image emphasizes distinct lives joined in mutual care.
The invitation to “draw near” closely echoes Hebrews 10:22-25, where believers approach God and continue meeting to encourage one another. Its rest for burdened people also reflects Matthew 11:28, and the repeated language of one family aligns with Ephesians 2:19. Together, these themes frame fellowship as a result of the Father’s love: people receive a place to belong, carry burdens toward Christ, and become a visible shelter of hope when they gather.
