|
Yeah she may look gritty |
|
When her man come back she gone look so pretty - She the Church |
|
You might see her acting crazy, be patient with her tho cause she still God's baby - She the Church |
|
Before you dis her get to know her, Jesus got a thing fo her and He died just to show her - She the Church |
|
She ain't bricks and buildings |
|
She all of God's people Men women and children - We the church |
|
She's a building of beings being constructed |
|
Christ is the cornerstone, foundation build on another and you's a goner holmes |
|
She' built on em, supported by him, conformed to him, now she's a body of bodies who transform through him |
|
A temple that breathes we are the halls, |
|
We are the floor board or more we are the walls |
|
Manifold wisdom of God no longer a mystery |
|
The church pinnacle of our salvific history |
|
One flesh union homie |
|
The Tri-union is glorified through our corporatized communion |
|
Still the present reality is she was born a casualty though she's made alive |
|
She's still affected by depravity |
|
Once lived in sin and enslaved by her lust and |
|
Folks catch her slippin and they turn away disgusted |
|
She's a work in progress Christ is the head of her |
|
And He wash her clean with the words that he done said to her |
|
She's already pretty but she's really not dressed and sometimes she look silly but she's far from a mess |
|
Yes, please so don't be dissin cause Jesus done paid grip an |
|
And if you didn't then should caller her Misses. I'm talking bout the church |
|
Her name is ecclesia meaning the assembly |
|
Bows to the Trinity No other Divinity |
|
A body family and community she is all one |
|
But on earth you see her in congregational small ones |
|
A microcosm or a small scale example |
|
But it is the church even though its just a sample |
|
Invisible spiritual |
|
Physical visible |
|
Not a brick temple never that simple |
|
This a not a building |
|
She is not bricks |
|
She's a world changer but ain't bout getting rich |
|
Perpetrating fakes cause a lot of folks to hate |
|
Plus her hands get dirty and her feet get scraped |
|
And sometimes her body parts start acting outta place |
|
Legs tryna be arms |
|
Arms thinking they the face |
|
But she'll never be replaced with a one man band or a small Taliban with no body in command |
|
Some don't get it so they hate |
|
They say she's on a paper chase they say she's really fake |
|
So they go start a ministry so they can do the work |
|
But they don't understand how Jesus feel about His church |
|
And yeah they make disciples |
|
They got plenty conversions |
|
They take care of the widows and the orphans they be workin |
|
But none of them are churchin |
|
No church structure |
|
No elders and no discipline |
|
They have no conductor |
|
And they so they don't submit |
|
But quite a few of them baptize |
|
People how I pray that you'd look at this thing from God's eyes |
|
Take responsibility inside the whole council not just the area where you might have a mouthful |
|
Who should folks submit to |
|
Who will conduct the discipline |
|
If excommunicated what body will they be missing then |
|
Look at Ephesians 4 where Paul gets practical |
|
1st timothy and Titus if you thinking I'm irrational |
