CHURCH SHOPPING

CHURCH SHOPPING






WE’VE BEEN GOING CHURCH SHOPPING
A PHRASE THAT’S SOMETIMES FROWNED UPON
BUT THAT’S WHAT WE’RE DOING

WE’RE NEW TO THE AREA
FINDING A CHURCH IS IMPORTANT

WE’RE LOOKING FOR A CHURCH HOME
NOT A HOUSE

WE’RE LOOKING FOR
A SPARK
A FLYING DOVE
A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAYING
HERE

I KNOW THE SCRIPTURES
ARE THE SAME
WHETHER PREACHED
BY DULLARD
OR SCHOLAR

I’M LOOKING FOR ÉLAN
EVEN IF THE PASTOR STUTTERS
A VISION
THAT CALLS US TO TASK
FOR OUR FAILINGS

BUT SEES BEYOND
THE WALLS OF THE CHURCH
AND TALKS OF A WORLD
THAT NEEDS HEALING
BY MORE THAN A PIOUS
I’LL PRAY FOR YOU
BY TAKING AN ACTIVE PART

DOGMA WITHOUT LOVE IS TRASH
DOGMA WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING
IS INSUFFERABLE

A CHURCH
THAT TEACHES
YOU KINGDOM COME
YOUR WILL BE DONE
ON EARTH

IS THE ONE I’LL JOIN
