The church

I have come with one purpose

to capture for myself a bride

by my life she is lovely

by my death she's justified

I have always been her husband

though many lovers she has known

so with water i will wash her

and by my word alone

So when you hear the sound of the water

you will know you're not alone

Chorus:

'Cause i haven't come for only you

but for my people to pursue

you cannot care for me with no regard for her

if you love me you will love the church

I have long pursued her

as a harlot and a whore

but she will feast upon me

she will drink and thirst no more

So when you taste my flesh and my blood

you will know you're not alone

Chorus:

There is none that can replace her

though there are many who will try

and though some may be her bridesmaids

they can never be my bride
