Lyrics

Jesus Loves The Church

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You say that You believe in us,

At times I wonder why

You say You see the Father in our eyes.

But I think if I were You, Lord,

I'd wash my hands today,

And turn my back on all our alibis.

And we crucify each other,

Leaving a battered, wounded bride,

But Jesus loves the church.

So we'll walk the aisle of history,

Towards the marriage feast,

For Jesus loves the church.

We fight like selfish children,

Vying for that special prize,

We juggle with our gifts before Your face.

And I know You look with sorrow

At the blindness in our eyes

As we trip each other half-way thru the race.

And we crucify each other,

Leaving a battered, wounded bride,

But Jesus loves the church.

So we'll walk the aisle of history,

Towards the marriage feast,

For Jesus loves the church.

I want to learn to love like You,

I don't know where to start,

I want to see them all but through Your eyes.

For You believed enough to live

Amidst the maddened crowd

Enough to die before our very eyes.

But we crucify each other,

Leaving a battered, wounded bride,

But Jesus loves the church.

And so we'll walk the aisle of history,

Towards the marriage feast,

For Jesus loves the church.

Yes we'll walk the aisle of history,

Towards the marriage feast,

For Jesus loves the church.

And as He hung in naked grief,

Bleeding for our crimes

He saw our fickle hearts and cried, I Love You.
