Phil Keaggy - Jesus Loves The Church lyrics

You say that You believe in us, at times I wonder why You say You see the Father in our eyes But I think if I were You, Lord, I'd wash my hands today And turn my back on all our alibis. For we crucify each other, leaving a battered, wounded bride But Jesus loves the church So we'll walk the aisle of history towards the marriage feast For Jesus loves the church. We fight like selfish children, vying for that special prize We struggle with our gifts before Your face And I know You look with sorrow at the blindness in our eyes As we trip each other half-way through the race. And we crucify each other, leaving a battered, wounded bride But Jesus loves the church So we'll walk the aisle of history towards the marriage feast For Jesus loves the church. I want to learn to love like You, I don't know where to start I want to see them all but through Your eyes For You believed enough to live amidst the maddened crowd Enough to die before our very eyes. And we crucify each other, leaving a battered, wounded bride But Jesus loves the church And so we'll walk the aisle of history towards the marriage feast For Jesus loves the church Yes, we'll walk the aisle of history towards the marriage feast For Jesus loves the church. And as He hung in naked grief, bleeding for our crimes You saw our fickle hearts and cried, I love You, I love You You are mine, all mine I love you ...
