there's a church within us, O Lord.
Not a building but a soul,
not a portion but a whole;
there's a church within us, O Lord.
2 There's potential within us, O Lord,
something's stirring within us, O Lord.
Something's straining to have birth,
to be visible on earth;
there's potential within us, O Lord.
3 There's some building to be done, O Lord,
there's some building to be done, O Lord.
Not with steel, not with stone,
but with lives which are our own,
there's the church to be built, O Lord.
4 There's the church within us, O Lord,
there's the church within us, O Lord.
Not a building but one soul,
not a portion, but one whole;
we are your church in the world. Topics: Embodiment; Jesus Christ The Incarnation; Membership; Mission; Sanctuary; Vision Used With Tune: THE CHURCH WITHIN US
