Story behind the song
Paul's Request came in1984. It was the 3rd song of many given on the subject of division found within the body of Christ .
The Holy spirit speaking thru Paul in his letter to the Corinthians is the inspiration.
The first verse comes from ( I Corinthians chapter 1 verses 10 thru13 )
The 2nd verse hints at ( Doctrinal Statements ) which is something I could never understand,
When we could say.
THE WORD OF GOD = DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
The bridge continues with the request
Verse 3 Starts with the question I hope will magnify the
problem.
HOW CAN WE GO ON?
Verse 3 concludes with a open prayer.
I hope this song will inspire others to pray and work for unity to come to the Body of Christ.
Lyrics
Verse 1
NOW I BESEECH YOU BROTHERS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
THAT WE ALL SPEAK THE SAME AND BE IN ONE ACCORD
AND THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU
AND THAT YOU BE JOINED TOGETHER IN LOVE'N
AND THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME MIND AND JUDGEMENT
AND BE UNITED IN THE LORD
Verse 2
WE ARE DIVIDED IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
UNDERLINED DIVISIONS THAT NEED TO BE RESTORED
FOR HIS MESSAGE IS NOT CLEAR TO SEE
WHEN WE LIVE WITHOUT THE HARMONY
MANY HAVE AGREED TO DISAGREE
AND BE DIVIDED IN THE LORD
Bridge
NOW I BESEECH YOU BROTHERS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
THAT WE BE NOT DIVIDED IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
NOW I BESEECH YOU BROTHERS IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
THAT WE BE NOT DIVIDED IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD
Verse 3
HOW CAN WE GO ON DIVIDED IN THE LORD
JESUS SHOW US THE WAY TO BE RESTORED
HOLY SPIRIT BRING IN UNITY
SO EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE WILL SEE
THE TRUE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN YOU AND ME
WHEN WE'RE UNITED IN THE LORD
