David MacGregor has some songs that are quite country styled and this is one of them. He wrote this one with Dale MacGregor, who I am assuming is his wife and vocalist.
It is in the voice of Jesus in a country/folk idiom if that is useful. There is something wonderful about the lyric, “build wider tables”.
The sheet music is available at his site. There is a backing he has recorded there, as well as a vocal version.
I made a backing too.
“Hear what I’m sayin’ and
Hear what I’m prayin’
Go, love one another
as I have loved
Love in the caring
Forgiving, forbearing
Love ever-giving”
the love from You.So come together
Yes, come together
Come, love together
Arms open wideBreak down the borders and
Build wider tables and
Reach out your arms
stretch them open wide“Hear what I’m sayin and
Hear what I’m prayin
You are my disciples
When known by love
Each time you welcome
a sister, a brother
You welcome the One
whose life is Love”So come together
Yes, come together
Come, love together
Arms open wideBreak down the borders and
Build wider tables and
Reach out your arms
stretch them open wideSo come together
Yes, come together
Come, love together
Arms open wideBreak down the borders and
David & Dale MacGregor
Build wider tables and
Reach out your arms
stretch them open wide
Reach out your arms
stretch them open wide.
