When We Gather In His Name

by Thomas A. Dooley

Oh the peace that I feel from His presence so real 
See the joy just appear, as His spirit draws near
There's a life-change in me, if you'll look close you'll see 
When we gather in His name, He's here.

In the flowing of tears, all His glory appears  
There's no need for a search, you will find Him in church.
Our eternal outlook, is described in The Book
When we gather in His name, He's here.

*Refrain
When we gather in His name, He's here.
When we gather in His name, He's here.
When we gather in His name, He's here.
When we gather in His name, He's here.

Don't let sin pull you down, when darkeness comes 'round. 
If temptation comes in, just remember again. 
Read your Bible each day, and together we'll pray
When we gather in His name, He's here.

God's the same then and now, Abraham will avow 
Isaac's miracle birth would prove fruitful on earth.
God's children are we and this day you will see
When we gather in His name, He's here.

*Refrain
When we gather in His name, He's here.
When we gather in His name, He's here.
When we gather in His name, He's here.
When we gather in His name, He's here.

Oh the peace that I feel from His presence so real 
See the joy just appear, as His spirit draws near
There's a life-change in me, if you'll look close you'll see 
When we gather in His name, He's here.
