Bind Us Together
by Bob Gillman
Theology & Meaning
A simple prayer for the unity of the body of Christ—bound together in love, with one heart and one Spirit. Bob Gillman's 1977 Vineyard song draws on Colossians 3:14's 'put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony' and Ephesians 4's call to unity in the Spirit.
Worship Leadership Tips
Works for services on community, unity, church membership, or following conflict. Works beautifully as a covenant renewal song for the congregation. Simple enough that new visitors can engage immediately. Excellent for small groups.
Arrangement Tips
Simple acoustic guitar or piano. Gentle tempo. The simplicity is the point—do not over-arrange. Three-part harmony makes it feel communal. The song can be looped several times as a corporate prayer. Silence after allows the congregation to dwell in the prayer.
