If God Came to Church Lyrics

If God came to church

Would he marvel at the hurt

Caused by those who claim

Their worth is in him

Would he thinks it's a joke

All the lights and all the smoke

And the platform for the one

Who loves him most

Maybe he'd be proud of

All the people getting shunned

For admitting their addictions

And struggling to give them up

Maybe he'd be proud of

Our conditions for his love

If God came to church

Would he like what it's become

If God came to church

Would his heart break when he heard

About the next big plan to get the numbers up

Would he think that it's sad

How we're more concerned with that

Than the stories of the weary hearted ones

Maybe he'd be proud of

All the people turned away

For just choosing to be honest

About the way they feel some days

Maybe he'd be proud of

How we misconstrue his name

If God came to church

Would he like what we have made

If God came to church

Would we have a lot to learn

About all the things we think that we deserve

Would we fall to our knees

Begging Lord forgive us please

For thinking grace is something that we have to earn
