Author: Kent E. Schneider Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6614 Lyrics: 1. There’s a church within us, O Lord,
There’s a church within us, O Lord.
Not a building, but a soul,
Not a portion but a whole—
There’s a church within us, O Lord.
2. There’s potential within us, O Lord;
Something’s stirring within us, O Lord.
Something’s straining to have birth,
To be visible on earth—
There’s potential within us, O Lord.
3. There’s a fire within us, O Lord;
A new life’s a-burnin’, O Lord.
A fire for new life,
Combating present strife—
There’s a fire within us, O Lord.
4. There’s some building to be done, O Lord,
There’s some building to be done, O Lord.
Not with steel, not with stone,
But with lives which are our own—
There’s the church to be built, O Lord.
5. There’s the church within us, O Lord,
There’s the church within us, O Lord.
Not a building, but one soul,
Not a portion, but one whole—
We are your church in the world.
