Why O Lord is there much division
Within the body of Christ?
For we have become sisters and brothers
So why is there so much strife?

It seems to me there’s much debating
Arguing to and fro
The Bible implores us to be united
And the love of God to show

But more than often we fight each other
When we feel that we are right
Arguing and debating biblical truth
Does nothing to honour Christ

Though at times we need to correct error
We do so in the spirit of love
Refuse to give in to an unholy battle
Remember Christ’s spilled blood

For Jesus gave His life for us
Uniting us by His grace
So we should put aside our weapons
For to Him they are a disgrace

The only weapons we must be armed with
Are the weapons of the Lord
And the only real enemy that we have
Is Satan and his hoards

We must gird ourselves with God’s compassion
And see others as He does
If we would only pray for each other
There’ll only be room for God’s love.
