The Church of Rejects

Hidden in the valleys
Towered by mighty peaks
Lies the church of rejects
The church of those called weak

Those the powerful sent home
Out of strong belief
That they were a contaminant
Not worthy of the Chief

Rejected by mankind,
And seeking hopeful refuge
They travel long and far
To the Church who comforts me and you

They feed them bread and give them wine
And embrace them as they dine

See, the Church of rejects--
Who bear the pain of unacceptance
And watch rejection of the truth--

Is ministered by the one insulted
Humiliated
Murdered
Mutilated
Used as justification for those elected
The very men who cause rejection

Is ministered
By the one and only God above
The giver of light and truth
