56. We were made for life together; God created us to be Living ever in the garden— One with God eternally.

57. But we chose to walk in darkness Loving self instead of God. Life together, lost forever; On sin’s lonely path we trod.

58. Then the LORD had mercy on us; Promised He would send the Son Who would bring us back together And with God again be one.

59. Born a child, dear Jesus entered This world torn apart by sin So that we could live together And as one new life begin.

60. We were made one in Christ Jesus Through baptismal water pure And the Word of God together, Ever in our LORD secure.

61. By the power of the Spirit We once died and rose again! Now together, as God’s children, One in Christ we shall remain.

62. Life together, life forever! Praise to God the Father sing. Life together, life forever! To the Son let praises ring.

63. Life together, life forever! To the Holy Spirit we Sing in joy for life together With the Holy Trinity!
