I keep hearing this song on Christian radio; and it has elements of wrongness to it.
It implies that we ought to compromise truth for the sake of unity.
I will answer the question...we are divided because we don't study to show ourselves approved so that we might know what the Bible teaches (2 Timothy 2:15, Acts of the Apostles 17:11)...and also, when we do understand what it teaches, many people do not like it, so they heap to themselves teachers to tell them what their itching ears want to hear...and in doing so they follow that new teacher and forsake sound doctrine (which is the only thing that true Christians can be unified over, other than the fact that we are redeemed through His shed blood) for what may eventually turn out to be fables (2 Timothy 4:1-5).
Now the key to unity in the body of Christ is, first and foremost, the shed blood of Jesus Christ as it is applied to us unto forgiveness of sin(s); and secondarily, it has to do with adhering to sound doctrine when we hear it.
Thus we have the statements found in 1 Corinthians 1:10, Romans 15:5-6, and Philippians 2:1-2.
