The Church Lyrics
(words and music by derek webb)
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
