An Old Abandoned Church

Writers: Kyle Thomas, Jerry Salley

Vs1)
The stained glass window's broken from a rock that some kid threw
Dust covers all the pages of the Hymnals in the pews
The paint is chipped and the bell is cracked
Sometimes (tonight) I feel just like that

CH)
Forgotten by the builders hands
Left alone to fall or stand
1st Ch) He see's the wretched shape I'm in and His love goes to work
2nd Ch) He sees the wretched shape it's in BUT His love's still at work
3rd Ch) He see's the wretched shape we're in and His love goes to work
Bricks will crumble boards will break
But His foundation never shakes
Filling me (us) with grace I (we) don't deserve
When I (we) (start to) feel as empty as an Old Abandoned Church

Vs2)
The neighbors haven't heard the choir singing therehere in years
And It's been a while since the alter felt a sinners tear
But the cross is still there hanging in it's place
And the sign out front still says Jesus saves

CH2)

Br)
When things start to fall apart, He's not the one who leaves
There's nothing He can't use to share the truth that sets us free
Though the building is deserted, we will never be
