The church is not a building,
Not a structure made with hands,
And to say we "go to church" is wrong,
I would have you understand.
The Church of God assembled
Is what we really mean
When God's people come together
To worship Christ the King.
The Church of God is people
In whom the Spirit dwells,
The saved of all the ages
Of whom the Bible tells;
The saints, as Paul describes them,
Who've been washed in Jesus' blood,
Who've washed their robes and made them white,
Whose sins are gone for good.
