This song based on Ephesians 4:1-15 encourages the local church to live and work as a ‘team’ to be the Body of Christ to those around us - it was was written as an ‘Olympic’ song for the Resound Worship ‘2024 12 Song Challenge.
"We are one body" was written in 2020 during the first lockdown. Our church, St Paul's and St Stephen's, Newport, needed a song to encourage each other at a time when two congregations had recently merged together. This song has continued to build us up since then!

Written for the Resound Worship 12 Song Challenge in January 2024, this is a song which aims to make everyone feel welcome and part of a family of faith, as well as declare why we have gathered.
The chords in the chord chart have been simplified, the recording has a few “crunchy” chords in based around a descending bassline.
