Lyrics
They're All One Tribe
(Singing to their Savior),
All One Tribe
(With strangers or with neighbors);
All One Tribe
(Lifting their prayers up to Heaven),
All One Tribe!
He sees them in the jungle,
Getting by day-to-day;
They may not know
Where their next meal is,
But they do know how to pray.
He sees them in the city,
Punchin' in from nine-to-five;
The ladies and the fellas,
Black and white and yella,
Workin' hard to stay alive--
Their All One Tribe--
In Him.
He sees them in the ghetto,
Risking life and limb;
Life in the 'hood--it ain't always good,
But they've kept their faith in Him.
He sees them on the mountains high,
Way up in the sky;
Away from the crowd--
It never used to be loud,
But they lift their praises high--
Their All One Tribe.
And a man on the desert floor prays;
And he worships the King in his ways.
And all over the world they come out
Just to sing and to shout
To Earth maker who saves!
They're All One Tribe
(Singing to their Savior),
All One Tribe
(With strangers or with neighbors);
All One Tribe
(Lifting their prayers up to Heaven),
All One Tribe!
He sees them in the valley fields
When they're in the heat of the day;
The work is unkind,
But they don't really mind
Since they've been following The Way.
He sees them in the arctic snow,
And though they slip and slide;
And though the icy winds blow,
There's a warmth that they know,
And a fountain flowing deep and wide--
They're All One Tribe.
And a man on the desert floor prays;
And he worships the King in his ways.
And all over the world they come out
Just to sing and to shout
To Earth maker who saves!
They're All One Tribe
(Singing to their Savior),
All One Tribe
(With strangers or with neighbors);
All One Tribe
(Lifting their prayers up to Heaven),
All One Tribe!
