The Church of Christ

 Christ’s church is true yet often small

No roof to call her own

Where Shepherds answer Heaven’s call

Not that of flesh and bone

No unsaved elders tie them down

God’s Spirit leads The Way

So all the sheep receive a crown

And never from Jesus stray

An unwatched fields succumbs to weed

Submits to pest and blight

God’s pasture bears His Holy Seed

That grows toward the light

Many have served of great repute

With talents grand and fair

Where goodly works are but the fruit

God gives for all to share

Man cannot save from wrath or flame

We cannot buy God’s love

We cannot take away the shame

Or purchase life above

Yet works can guide a child that’s lost

May help a weary soul

Can shelter whom life’s storms have tossed

And steer toward our goal

If man could see Salvation’s plan

God’s will; would soon be done

For man would leave, the church of man

To serve God’s risen Son

For this! God’s church must stand erect

Must serve The Lord alone

Till all her children, God’s elect

Stand firm as living stone..... Christ’s church is true yet often small

No roof to call her own

Where Shepherds answer Heaven’s call

Not that of flesh and bone

No unsaved elders tie them down

God’s Spirit leads The Way

So all the sheep receive a crown

And never from Jesus stray
