The church is not a building,
The church is not a steeple.
The church is not a resting place,
The church is a people.
I am the church, you are the church
[Shout]
WE ARE THE CHURCH! — together
All who follow Jesus,
all around the world,
[Shout]
WE ARE THE CHURCH! — together
We’re many kinds of people,
With many kinds of faces,
All colours and all ages,
From all kinds of places.
I am the church, you are the church
[Shout]
WE ARE THE CHURCH! — together
All who follow Jesus,
all around the world,
[Shout]
WE ARE THE CHURCH! — together
And when the people gather,
There’s singing and there’s praying,
There’s crying and there’s laughing,
All of it saying:
I am the church, you are the church
[Shout]
WE ARE THE CHURCH! — together
All who follow Jesus,
all around the world,
[Shout]
WE ARE THE CHURCH! — together
