The theme verses are Ephesians 4:1-6, and the representative songs include a variety of styles: Classical: Cantate Domino (Giuseppe Pitoni); If Ye Love Me, Keep My Commandments (Thomas Tallis); Hymns: The Church Is One Foundation; Brethren, We Have Met to Worship; Down To The River To Pray; Contemporary: Upon This Rock (Pepper Choplin); Holy Is His Name (John Michael Talbot); To Live Is Christ (Kate Wray); Revelation Song (Jennie Lee Riddle); How Great Is Your Love (Nick Robertson and Dave Clark)
