Verse 1:
8th grade, ’99, mom said,
"son, we’re going to church."
“Why you gotta take my
Sundays from me, mom?”
Showed up, dressed nice,
I was so uncomfortable,
But people's kindness can
disarm an atomic bomb
And the band started playing,
And the people started singing
And the preacher started preaching
I was caught up in a feeling
Like I was the only one in the room
I knew about religion and
I thought I knew Jesus
But this was something
that I didn’t know,
This was relationship
with a living God
And I’m so thankful for that day
Verse 2:
Next step, Wednesday night,
Mom said, “son, you’re
going to youth.”
“Mom, I don’t want to go.
I don’t know a single soul.”
But they welcomed in,
this rebellious kid
Gave me a family that’s
thicker than blood
Taught me about
unconditional love
In the arms of Jesus
Said it could be mine
if I wanted it and I did
So I opened up my heart to him
And said, “Jesus, I’m sorry
for all of my sin.”
And it’s hard, I can’t explain,
but I could feel him saying,
“I forgive you and i love you,
and I always will."
And tears filled the eyes a
14 year old boy that night
And I’m so thankful for that day
How can you take
something for granted
Something that changed your life
And just walk away?
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Bridge:
I’ve been standing on holy ground
And it's only by the grace of God
I’m standing here right now
But, oh, the fruit that you’ll see fall
When you lay those roots,
plant your feet and stay faithful
through it all
So don’t walk away
Don’t walk away
You’re only hurting yourself more
When you walk away
The Church Chorus:
The Church is the hope of the world
It carries the message of Christ to the Earth
She was built with nail scarred hands
The gates of hell don’t stand a chance
I’ll spend my life
Building the Church of Jesus Christ
Til the day I die
I’ll be building the Church of Jesus Christ
Chorus:
Tag:
Til the day I die
I’ll be building the Church of Jesus Christ
Not a doubt in my mind
I’ll be building the church of Jesus Christ
Til the day I Die
I’ll be building the church of Jesus Christ
