Be Ye Not Divided – Julia Wade

Be Ye Not Divided

Music and Lyrics by Peter Link

Where do you stand
When it comes to the world around you?
What is your resolve?
What is your devotion?
Have you made up your mind
To be unmovable?
Have you had the final word?

And what about those who disagree?
What about me?
When we don’t see eye to eye?
When we’re both too unwavering
Too resolute to try?

Be ye not divided
Become of one mind
Work to be at one with humankind
Be ye not divided in your state of mind
Give a little here
Give a little there
Work to find agreement
Be a better listener
And in all that you achieve
Look to share
Find a way to stand for Truth
Together

Give a little here
Give a little there
Find your peace in giving
Bend like the branches of the Willow tree
You will not break
Be we not divided
Become of one Mind

“Judge not that ye be not judged.”
Measure for measure
Sharing with all
The all that you can bear
Go to them, the supposedly misguided
The undecided
Bring to them one mind
Be ye not divided

Then where will you stand
When it comes to the world around you?
What will you have lost?
When you have come together?
When you give a little here
And a little there
What will you have lost
If you live in one accord?

But what if we still will disagree?
What do we do
When we don’t see eye to eye?
When we’re both too unwavering
Too resolute to try?
We give a little here
Give a little there
Work to find agreement
Be a better listener
And in all that we achieve
Look to share

Find a way to stand for Truth
Together
Give a little here
Give a little there
Find our peace in giving
Bend like the branches of the Willow tree
We cannot break
Be ye not divided
Become of one Mind
Be ye not
Be ye not divided
