GATHERED IN JESUS' NAME

Don Fortner

(Tune: This is My Father's World #39 SMD)

<CENTER>Gathered in Jesus' name,<BR>

We've come into this place,<BR>

To hear the Word of God, and sing,<BR>

And offer prayer and praise.<BR>

Here, God with sinners meets<BR>

In mercy, love, and grace.<BR>

By His command, the gospel feast<BR>

Is always in this place. </P>

Christ Jesus crucified<BR>

Is always lifted up.<BR>

His name and works are magnified<BR>

To give poor sinners hope.<BR>

How blest we are to be<BR>

With friend and family<BR>

Assembled in God's house today<BR>

In peace and harmony! </P>

How thankful now I am<BR>

That someone once brought me<BR>

To hear about the saving Lamb<BR>

Whose blood has made me free!<BR>

Lord, let me ne'er forsake<BR>

The meetings of Your church.<BR>

Keep me from the fatal mistake<BR>

Of despising her worth. </CENTER> </P>
