Song Meaning

Sarah Kroger and Matt Maher open by naming the Trinity directly — "praise to the Father and the Son, and with the Spirit, they are one" — then immediately turn from doctrine to need: "O Savior, come and make a home with stubborn hearts of sin and stone." The song's real subject isn't abstract unity but a particular kind of welcome.

The chorus leans on 2 Corinthians 5:21's exchange — "you became our transgressions to give a kiss of peace" — recasting the cross as a reconciliation scene rather than only a legal one, with "a kiss of peace" echoing the father's embrace of the returning son in Luke 15:20. "Lifted high upon the cross, you dare to dream" keeps that hope specific: not vague restoration but a stated intention.

By the bridge, "undivided... reunited... there is no height, no depth, there's nothing else" turns Paul's language in Romans 8:38-39 into a direct address, closing on the title phrase as something the singer is still becoming, not something already finished: "so that we could be an unbroken family."

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Praise to the Father and the Son
And with the Spirit, they are one
United by a common love, they are family

O Savior, come and make a home
With stubborn hearts of sin and stone
Made humbled by Your kindness shown
Lord, have mercy, have mercy

You became our transgressions
To give a kiss of peace
Lifted high upon the cross
You dare to dream
For all that is broken
Your heart was torn open
So that we could be an unbroken family

Father, receive Your wayward child
Untamed and fully reconciled
You mend our hearts and leave them wild
For Your glory, Your glory
Oh, that we could be Your unbroken family

Undivided: nothing can separate us now
Reunited: there is no height, no depth, there's nothing else
That we could be Your unbroken family
So that we could be Your unbroken family

For all that is broken
Your heart was torn open
So that we could be an unbroken family
So that we could be an unbroken family
