"There is a Church Invisible"
"There is a Church Invisible"
Lyrics by Pastor Philip C. Nordstrom
Music composed by Melody Cook
Performance by the worship team at Life Church in Knoxville, TN
00:00
There is a church invisible,
Not made by human hands,
Despite all tries to stop her,
Invincible she stands.
00:26
In her are no division.
Unified is she.
Her faithful sing her anthem,
All one body we.
00:51
She's known by God and God alone,
Unobservable to me.
Some I think are heretic
Are acceptable to Thee.
01:14
In part her features hideous
Parochial and cold.
In whole, her body glorious,
Adorned is she with gold.
01:38
She's Catholic and Protestant,
A Gentile, she's a Jew.
Like Joseph's multicolored coat
All nations line her pews.
02:01
She makes her home among the streets,
A preference for the poor.
Yet defying all exclusions,
Kings and queens come through her doors.
02:26
I love your church,
O Lord divine,
Although I cannot see.
She's clearly everything to You,
And so she is to me.
