Oh,
the
journey
has
been
long
But
the
hand
of
the
Lord
has
been
strong
One
family,
one
purpose,
forever
bound
In
His
grace,
our
strength
is
found
We
are
the
Gershomites,
standing
tall
today
Looking
back
at
how
far
we
have
come
along
the
way
Through
the
valleys
of
suffering,
through
the
fire
and
the
rain
We
felt
the
weight
of
the
struggle,
we
carried
all
the
pain
But
God
Almighty
kept
us,
He
held
us
by
the
hand
He
guided
every
footstep
across
this
weary
land
From
the
days
of
hunger
to
the
days
of
harvest
light
His
mercy
was
our
compass
through
the
shadows
of
the
night
One
family,
one
purpose,
united
by
His
grace
We
run
this
holy
race
in
this
sacred
place
Mother,
brothers,
sisters,
we
stand
as
one
design
Linked
by
the
love
of
Jesus,
a
covenant
divine
Though
others
have
departed,
sleeping
in
the
clay
We
are
here
together,
praising
Him
today
I
look
at
my
brothers,
I
look
at
my
sisters
too
I
see
the
faithfulness
of
God
in
everything
we
do
To
those
who
have
labored,
to
those
who
helped
me
climb
You
raised
me
up
from
nothing,
you
saved
me
just
in
time
I
sing
this
song
of
gratitude
for
all
that
you
have
done
For
the
battles
that
you
fought
until
the
victory
was
won
I
cannot
forget
you,
no,
not
for
a
single
day
I
will
keep
you
in
my
heart
in
a
special
kind
of
way
One
family,
one
purpose,
united
by
His
grace
We
run
this
holy
race
in
this
sacred
place
Mother,
brothers,
sisters,
we
stand
as
one
design
Linked
by
the
love
of

Though

have
departed,
sleeping

the
clay
We
are
here
together,
praising
Him
today (
Instrumentation

with

Bless
the
hands
that
labored,
bless
the
hearts
that
gave
For
the
love
you
showed
me,
for
the
souls
you
tried
to
save
Oh,
we’
ve
come
from
so
far,
through
the
trials
and
the
woe
But
the
Lord
of
mercy
kept
us,
everywhere
we
go
Yes,
the
Lord
of
mercy
kept
us,
everywhere
we
go
Our
brothers
who
have
passed,
we
hold
them
in
our
prayer
We
know
they
rest
in
Jesus,
within
His
loving
care
But
those
of
us
remaining,
let
us
never
drift
apart
Let
us
keep
the
unity
deep
within
each
heart
One
family,
one
purpose,
till
the
trumpet
sounds
on
high
We
will
walk
this
road
together
underneath
the
sky
Oh,
the
goodness
of
the
Lord
is
written
on
our
face
We
are
the
Gershomites,
walking
in
His
grace
One
family,
one
purpose,
united
by
His
grace
We
run
this
holy
race
in
this
sacred
place
Mother,

We

Yes,
we
are
one
family
One
purpose
under
God
We
will
never
forget
Never
forget
the
way (
