Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:
One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You
We are the body of Christ.
One goal one vision, to see You exalted
We are the body of Christ

And to this we give our lives:
To see You glorified.

See more ...

KEEP IN CASE ORIGINAL IS REMOVED, BUT DO NOT DISPLAY One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You
We are the body of Christ.
One goal one vision, to see You exalted
We are the body of Christ

And to this we give our lives:
To see You glorified.
