Church Musings, Pt. 2 Lyrics

Hmm. Huh

More church musings, man

I don't even know how to say this

Here it is

Hey Natalie, I appreciate you showing me

How to be vulnerable, it took courage, undoubtedly

And allowing me to take time, to hear your story

I may cry, but hearing you sharing it can change lives

The way I grew up, wow, I can't imagine

It's tragic and traumatic, how something like that can happen

And it's like, I wasn't there when you were nine

But at the same time, my cousin shared a friend of hers went through the same, I

Have much to say but I'm afraid my

Little words can't take away the pain, rhymes

Help me to express what's inside, find it healthy to connect

All the dots in my life, but it seldom means I get

To just check the box and it's gone

Done, never have to deal with it again and move on

Nah, but there's healing in the listening, so if you're listening

Know I'm sorry, thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you visited (Yo)

It takes the church to heal church hurt, yeah

I need the church…listen, a healthy one

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah, listen, a healthy one

Ay, it takes the church to heal world hurt, huh?

Sin, yeah…hits everyone

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah, listen, a healthy one

Hey Jay, I hear you're angry, and I gotta say

Man, that's a lotta weight to carry, know it's gotta take

A lotta time to feel safe, and a lotta guys, sadly

Honestly, never deal with this the real way

It's hard to open up, especially as a man

Even more, if dad was far when you were growing up

And even more, with parents arguing and throwing stuff

And dad treating your mom like she was garbage, never owning up

And even more if his habits started showing up

In your own family, damaging, home's a broken one

Difference is you showed enough, courage to own it

Asked for forgiveness, and I'm told the tears were flowing

Don't get, an impression that they were fake

Not perfect yet? I ain't either, but you've sure changed

Sure, days I make mistakes too, I punched a hole in a door

My dad fixed it, seeing healing and I'm hoping for more

It takes the church to heal church hurt, yeah

I need the church…listen, a healthy one

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah, listen, a healthy one

Ay, it takes the church to heal world hurt, huh?

Sin, yeah…hits everyone

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah, listen, a healthy one

Hey, when we talk about health, what does it look like?

We all figure it out for ourselves, and try to look right?

Look, might sound appealing to some (Not me), but the truth is

Of all of us, Jesus is really the only healthy one

So, he's where it begins, a church is healthy

Only to the extent it's comparing to him

And sharing he lived, died, and rose again

Those events are the answer to our sin and our brokenness

Know it is, only the gospel that can change hearts

A healthy church is holding it out as the main part

Grace. Faith starts with us hearing, and healthy churches are preaching

Line by line, exegesis, rightly dividing the Bible's teaching

And Jesus gets every bruised reed

Only Savior, his approval is everything you need

Do please, find a church that's good at listening and living this

None are perfect, I ain't either, but I love the church and Christ has given it his life

Wanted a moment of silence here, but enough of that

Time to speak out against the church covering up and contributing to abuse

How dare you quote 1 Corinthians 6?!

Sexual abuse and domestic violence aren't trivial things, they're crimes!

And Paul wrote Romans 13 too

Stop smearing God's name and word, handle it rightly

He didn't spare his own Son. Justice will come

It takes the church to heal church hurt, yeah

I need the church…listen, a healthy one

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah, listen, a healthy one

Ay, it takes the church to heal world hurt, huh?

Sin, yeah…hits everyone

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah

Praying for a church, yeah, listen, a healthy one

Silence please
