To Church To Church To Go

To church, to church to go
A routine, brushing your smile
A routine, cleansing your soul

To church, to church to go
Each scripture snapshot
Each passage deep

To church, to church to go
Communion with strangers
Strangers become friends

To church, to church to go
To kneel
To pray

To church, to church to go
not in pretense
not in laziness

To church, to church to go
emptied of the cares of the world
filled with mercy, hope and grace

To church, to church to go
to embrace our savior Jesus Christ
and carry Him inside for the rest of your life

To church, to church to go
in the name of Abba Father
in the name of His Son Jesus
in the name of the Holy Spirit
One God, a mystery, profound

To church, to church to go
to serve, not disembodied
to give, cheerfully
to praise, with a joyful heart

To church, to church to go
every week
often
to rest in God

To church, to church to go
hand in hand with our fellow man
We pull each other up
We disciple
Iron sharpens iron

To church, to church to go
embracing the grieving
anointing the sick for healing
encouraging the young
listening to the old

To church, to church to go
Get thee there
Exhale the weight of the world
Inhale heavenly paradise

Church is a wonderful community of nearly strangers, pulled together by a wonderful thread. I like the rhythm of this Kim. Sx

I went to church today. I don't go often as I haven't found a church nearby that I can walk to that I feel at home in. But I like this poem - you could be a Sunday school teacher singing this. <3

I feel so blessed, where I go to church now. I am sorry that your nearby churches aren’t a good fit. May God bless your endeavors. Thank you, sweet Paige!
