I Am The Church

Chorus

I am the church
You are the church
We are the church together
All who follow Jesus
All around the world
Yes we're the church together

Verse 1

The church is not a building
The church is not a steeple
The church is not a resting place
The church is a people

Verse 2

We're many kinds of people
With many kinds of faces
All colors and all ages too
From all times and places

Verse 3

Sometimes the church is marching
Sometimes it's bravely burning
Sometimes it's riding sometimes hiding
Always it's learning

Verse 4

And when the people gather
There's singing and there's praying
There's laughing and there's crying sometimes
All of it saying

Verse 5

At Pentecost some people
Received the Holy Spirit
And told the Good News
Through the world
To all who would hear it

Verse 6

I count if I am ninety
Or nine or just a baby
There's one thing I am sure about
And I don't mean maybe
