The Church on the Hill Lyrics

Up on top of the hill there sits a church

It looks pretty empty for a Sunday morn

The steeple bells aren't ringing much these days

Tho inside the pews are pretty worn

My grandparents married in that church

Mom and dad took me there a lot

I learned about the golden rule

And to appreciate everything i got

Down in the valley there is another church

Golden rule don't mean as much down there

Preacher preaches hate and division

Parishioners don't really seem to care

No one seems to love their neighbor

No one tries to comfort the sick

No one is feeding the hungry

But they talk a lot about politics

I'm lookin for a simple place

With moments peaceful and still

Where people take care of each other

I'm going back to the church on the hill

Jesus gave the sermon on the mount

Church in the valley has no use

That is just a sign of weakness

They say as a bad excuse

If jesus came back and had a look

I'm sure he'd let us know

About the people in the valley

And the wide gate and the broad road

I'm lookin for a simple place

With moments peaceful and still

Where people take care of each other

I'm going back to the church on the hill

I'm lookin for a simple place

With moments peaceful and still

Where people take care of each other

I'm going back to the church on the hill
