We Need Each Other, Brethren!

Angela G. Gellenbeck • English

Primary Scripture: Galatians 6:2

Verse 1

In a world filled with vi’lence and hatred, Everywhere wars and turmoil we see; God’s people face daily this struggle; Only love will keep us free.

Chorus

We need each other, brethren! For only love will carry us through; Let us stand by each other, brethren; Take courage, be faithful and true.

Verse 2

Oh, how sad to see some of our brethren, As they strive for earth’s pleasure and gold, Become selfish and strive with each other; Love and kindness has quickly grown cold.

Chorus

We need each other, brethren! For only love will carry us through; Let us stand by each other, brethren; Take courage, be faithful and true.

Verse 3

Lord, give us true warmth and affection; When one fails, help us rescue his soul; “He’s not heavy, for he is my brother,” Let us cry as we carry his load.

Chorus

We need each other, brethren! For only love will carry us through; Let us stand by each other, brethren; Take courage, be faithful and true.

Verse 4

Dear saints, let us vow to each other, “I will help, I will comfort and pray; I will stand by your side and defend you In this battle you’re facing today.”

Chorus

We need each other, brethren! For only love will carry us through; Let us stand by each other, brethren; Take courage, be faithful and true.
