1 Our Saviour Jesus Christ proclaimed that when we gather in his name he would be there to love and guide, lead us towards the Father’s side. Chorus:Our hearts are longing for you, Lord, give us the faith to trust your word. He told us, ‘Ask, you will receive, seek and you’ll find if you believe. Knock at the door of love and truth and we shall open it for you.’ 3 His hands brought healing to the blind, his words brought ease to troubled minds. He said his friends could do the same by invocation of his name. 4 He came to earth in form of man to give to us his Father’s plan. We are the branches, he the vine, we too can share his life divine.
