Forrest Clay - Oh Church

Oh Church when did we lose our way
When did the size of our buildings become the foundation we laid

Oh Church, tell me what made us think
That we could keep others away in the name of some so called safety

Cuz we sold our soul for a little bit of power and control
And we left a hole in those we're called to love
Oh church what have we done

Oh Church when will we ever see
Until we're all treated the same that nobody is actually free

Oh Church we've started to pave the way
To our irrelevancy 'cause we've driven the other away

Cuz we sold our soul for a little bit of power and control
And we left a hole in those we're called to love
Oh church what have we done

But there is hope somewhere to go
Someone to feed someone to lead
Someone to clothe
And who are we if not redeemed?
Bringers of peace and justice sweet and holy love
Oh church what have we done
Oh church what have we done

May we sell our soul to be rid of all our power and control
May we lose ourselves for those we're called to love
Oh church let that be us
