We Are the Church

# WE ARE THE CHURCH Original Gospel Composition — James Langston [Intro — Soulful Male Lead, A Cappella] We are the church, We are the church, [Spoken Exhortation] Come on, somebody help me out on this! [Chorus — Male Lead and Gospel Quartet] We are the church of the Lord! [Call — Lead Singer] Somebody clap your hands, Somebody say amen! [Verse 1 — Full Gospel Band Enters] Yes, we are the church, The church of the Lord. We've been saved, sanctified, Filled with the Holy Ghost, It's a glorious church, Washed in the blood of the Lamb! [Church Testimony — Playful Rhythmic Lead and Congregational Responses] [Lead] Shout, Grandmama, shout! [Congregation] Oh yes! [Lead] Shout, Mama, shout! [Congregation] Oh yes! [Lead] Deac' tried to sit 'em down! [Congregation] Didn't work! [Lead] Mama started running, Grandmama did too! Somebody cried, "Loose them, Lord! Holy Ghost, have Your way!" [Final Chorus — Full Choir, Organ, Handclaps and Tambourine] We are the church, We are the church, We are the church of the Lord! [Big Old-Fashioned Gospel Ending]
