A good song

The Church by Derek Webb

I have come with one purpose 

to capture for myself a bride 

by my life she is lovely 

by my death she’s justified 

I have always been her husband 

though many lovers she has known 

so with water i will wash her 

and by my word alone 

So when you hear the sound of the water 

you will know you’re not alone 

'Cause i haven’t come for only you

but for my people to pursue

you cannot care for me with no regard for her

if you love me you will love the church

I have long pursued her 

as a harlot and a whore 

but she will feast upon me 

she will drink and thirst no more 

So when you taste my flesh and my blood 

you will know you’re not alone 

There is none that can replace her 

though there are many who will try 

and though some may be her bridesmaids 

they can never be my bride
