Nancy Kerr 2010
James Fagan hears an Americana feel in this song. Kerr always thinks of Emily Smith because of her recording of it.

I’ll take wine, just a little in the evening And I’ve been known for my bar room dancing And I don’t care if you’re selling or you’re saving I just want to know, where we go will we gather in peace Certain souls they don’t care where you wander They just want to know if you’re following Jesus Well I can’t see right over those mountains I just want to know, where we go will we gather in peace Chorus Sweet peace, the seed that we cling to Like a willow weeping, carry it home Sweet peace, the song that we sing you Like a river calling, carry it home I can see that we’re heading for a harvest While there’s a storm in the north and fire in the forest Well I need friends, not the pennies in my pocket I just want to know, where we go will we gather in peace I can’t speak for my sons or my daughters But wouldn’t they cry if they never saw summers They won’t care about saints or sinners They’ll just want to know, when we will gather in peace
