Dividing line
Lyrics and chords
Dividing line: From the album, ‘From this moment on’
A song designed to make us think more about the unity Jesus fervently prayed for, for all his followers. Sheila
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father,
just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, t
hat they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. T
hen the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17. 20-23
Intro: Am . . .
Am G Am
You think your way / I’ll think mine.
Am E
Confrontation / All the time.
Am Dm
What’s your label? / Pick up sides,
Am G Am
You’re standing on the dividing line.
Am G Am
Separation / Lack of love.
Am E
Yet still we trust in God above,
Am Dm
Sad divisions, see our crime
Am G Am
Yet don’t dare cross the dividing line.
Bridge:
Am F Am
‘Cos at the moment we are heaving in a tug of war.
Am G Am
Your Son is in the middle and we won’t let go.
Am Dm
Till his body’s broken and crucified.
Am G Am
Our Lord of love once again must die.
Pour your love out/ Spirit blow
Reconcile us / Help us grow
Graft us to the One True Vine.
And help us to bridge the dividing line
