Psallos - O Philippi (1:1-11)

O Philippi, city where my heart lies
Memories of the night me and Silas did jail time
But no worries, there's more to the story
Still feeling love for ya
Cause in the midst of this cold town
Hidden in the shadow of Rome's crown
Arose a little folk who would go down
Down in the river to pray
That's why I'm writing to the church
Founded by the banks of the river
I found you outside of the city site
To the church started with a gathering of some sisters
Looking for the dawn of the coming light
Ooh, church of givers
Greetings to the leaders at Philippi
Dear friends of mine, Timothy says "Hi!"
Wishes he could send a line, but maybe next time
We're both so proud of how
You live among this crowd
And doubts not flowing for the next part
When Jesus gets going with a new heart
The Spirit keeps blowing where he first started
When down in the river you prayed
That's why I'm writing to the church
Founded by the banks of the river
I found you outside of the city site
To the church started with a gathering of some sisters
Looking for the dawn of the coming light
Ooh, church of givers
Greetings to the leaders at Philippi
I just want to tell you
I'm thankful for the things you do
You have been a partner from the get-go
You've stuck by me like a frog stickin' to its shadow
And I long for you like Jesus loves his own bride
And the way I feel is right
That's why I'm writing to the church
That's why I'm writing to the church
Founded by the banks of the river
I found you outside of the city site
To the church started with a gathering of some sisters
Looking for the coming light
That's why I'm writing to the church
Founded by the banks of the river
I found you outside of the city site
To the church started with a gathering of some sisters
Looking for the dawn of the coming light
Ooh, church of givers
Greetings to the people at Philippi
