“Gather As One” is a great slice of funk gospel from Amanda McKenna and is found at No48 in AOV NG. Obviously a gathering song, it is a great singalong. Some of it is very reminiscent of “Power to the People” – I challenge you not to sing “power to the people right on” coming into the verses. My backing tries to be funk gospel as well.
There is a missing chord on the very last bar of the song – pencil in an E.
Chorus
Gather as one. Gather as one.
Gather all the people of God!
All of our days singing God’s praise,
Gather all the people as one!
Verse 1
We will sing a new song unto the Lord,
Of truth and beauty surrounding our God;
Of holiness and glory,
Sing out to the Lord all the earth!
Chorus
Verse 2
Gather all the nations unto the Lord.
Bring us together our Lord and our God
And we will come rejoicing,
Proclaiming the Lord’s holy name!
Chorus
Verse 3
Come, now let us worship unto the Lord,
And let us bow down in honour of God.
We come into God’s presence
And shout out with joy to the Lord!
(key change)
Chorusx2 (then)
Gather all the people as one!
Gather all the people as one!
