The Church

The pains of the broken hearted souls cry out Their sobbing voices ring with joy Their fragile bodies shout Your name This is the church in action The beginning of salvation grace is found In the relinquishment of selfish pride And the reliance of the Saviour’s Cross This is the church’s message The song of the distressed is great In those who bear the LORD’s name For they hold the hope that flows from His hands This is the church’s worship The nail pierced hands upon the reddened cross Find their timed reflection in us When we are willing to let Him act This is the church’s identity This is the pain we carry Though burden light it is This is the life we live In Him our joy is made complete This is the God we serve Our brilliant high priest Who takes those weak in spirit And uses them for his glory To accomplish his will
