Church

(album: Perspectives - 2020)

Brick walls
Steeples
Open every Sunday
Come one
Come all
Least that's what the signs say

Got an hour for a shave and a shower
Get the kids packed up, huh
Check it off sing a song 'bout the cross
Then we all drive off

What the church is
It's not only a building
Just like worship
It's not only a feeling
Grab a seat, hear the lesson
Come thou fount of every blessing
Check it off, yeah it's good enough
What the church is
It's not just a building
The church is us

Stained glass
Plate passed
Open up to 93
Hymnals
Altar calls
The words are up on screen

Anything, to persuade and retain
No empty seats, huh
If you're hurt, take a shirt, this is church
See you all next week

What the church is
It's not only a building
Just like worship
It's not only a feeling
Grab a seat, hear the lesson
Come thou fount of every blessing
Check it off, yeah it's good enough
What the church is
It's not just a building
The church is

Not a place that you point to
It's the eyes you look into
It's you and I, you and I
It's not a place that you point to
It's the eyes you look into
It's you and I, yeah

It's not a place that you point to
It's the eyes you look into
It's you and I, you and I
It's not a place that you point to
It's the eyes you look into
You and I, let the church rise

What the church is
It's not only a building
Just like worship
It's not only a feeling
It's every tongue, every nation
Every tribe, denomination
Let the people of God rise up
What the church is
It's not just a building
But church is us
Us

It not a place that you point to
It's the eyes you look into
It's you and I, you and I
It's me and you
