The Church Is the Main Thing
The church is the main thing
but for most today this isn't true
reject it's message of hope and faith
not liking the picture that's in view
The church is the main thing
complaints that it's so middle-class
no time for the poor or the destitute
just looking after number one, so flash
The church is the main thing
many think it's the building that counts
but scripture shows it's the people
that's the true church at the fount
The church is the main thing
for God says He'll build it to stand
even hell can't tear it down
check its label to see the maker's brand
The church is the main thing
wherever the crowd decides to meet
at Church Street or on Main Street
Christ came to redeem His elect wing
The church is the main thing
God's love is poured out upon it
such perfect love, only He can bring
so man will seek salvation from the pit
(Church Street and Main Street are the two most common street names in the USA, so I have written this to bring these two names together with a real meaning to what they could mean to many folk.)
