Church Hurt

Have you ever been angry or been church hurt Did you leave and pull your roots from the dirt But was it really the church, or just merely the people The sinners, the gossipers, not necessarily the steeple The church is full of sinners and the lost A place of refuge at all cost If you've quit the church, if you pulled your roots Don't lose faith over those little disputes You'll find that if you extend some grace That in church you do have a place Don't slander the church, oh the damage you can do Imagine how many lives could be lost because of you Forgive the people, it wasn't the church Find another church if you prefer Or keep your roots planted right where you are We all make mistakes, try to lower the bar You've been hurt bad, and I can understand And maybe it's an apology that you demand But do unto others and forgive for yourself You don't need an apology to heal oneself God said forgive, and He'll forgive too I'd suggest you take heed and do as He'd do Get healed in church, whichever church you may choose Just remember, without church, it's you and your family that will lose The church is a family God made for the people Don't miss out on life because your feelings are feeble Find your home ground and start planting more roots Deep and strong roots where you'll bear many fruits God rooted in God, get rooted in faith Get back into church, your family awaits.
