Church that Jesus Built

# The Church That Jesus Built **Verse 1** Sunday morning, coffee in the lobby Perfect smiles as I walked through the door Lights came up and the music started playing Voices filled the room from ceiling to floor The message sounded faithful from the pulpit Every word was solid, true, and clear But when the final prayer was softly spoken I slipped away like I was never there And I've never felt so alone In a room this crowded before **Pre-Chorus 1** I didn't need a whitewashed tomb Or a candle with no flame I didn't need religion wrapped up In a Savior's name I needed the heart of Jesus I needed His love shining through I needed the family of God And I needed you **Chorus** I needed the church that Jesus built I needed the family of God More than a stage and a preacher's word I needed arms open wide I needed the body I needed the Kingdom I needed somebody to see I needed the love of my Savior Shining through His people to me **Verse 2** I wasn't looking for all the answers I wasn't asking anyone to fix my pain I just needed someone to walk beside me And remind me I wasn't alone in the rain 'Cause life had left me bruised and weary Questions hanging heavy on my soul I came searching for the heart of Jesus But I left feeling farther from home And the darkness felt a little darker As I walked back to my car **Pre-Chorus 2** I didn't need all the right words Or another Sunday show I needed arms that would carry me When I couldn't bear the load I needed the heart of Jesus I needed His love shining through I needed the family of God And I needed you **Chorus** I needed the church that Jesus built I needed the family of God More than a stage and a preacher's word I needed arms open wide I needed the body I needed the Kingdom I needed somebody to see I needed the love of my Savior Shining through His people to me **Bridge** I needed to see Your heart I needed to feel Your grace I needed to know You loved me When I could not find my place I didn't need a spotlight I didn't need a stage I just needed one believer To help me find my way **Final Chorus** I need the church that Jesus built And I know I'm not alone There are wounded hearts in every pew Trying to bear their burdens on their own I need the body I need the Kingdom I need a friend who sees I need the love of my Savior Shining through His people to me I need the church that Jesus built More than a stage or a melody I need the family of God And I need them to be my family **Outro** I need the family of God To be my family again I need the family of God To be my family again
