2) Some think that a country church, in a size that's small.
People know each other there, all within its walls.
But, what is preached from pulpit there, in sermons pastors gave.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
3) Others think a megachurch, is the way to go.
Huge in size with many members, each Sunday to show.
But, if entertainment's king, to make the members rave.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
4) The True Church is The Bride Of Christ; for Her, He did die.
He rose again on The Third Day, in The Victory Cry.
For all who have come to Christ, though sinners there, depraved.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
5) Not a denomination there, with doctrines that it claims.
Only those who have repented, and called upon Christ's Name.
No other Name under Heaven, to man, that God gave.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
6) The Gospel that's for all mankind, it's God's Free Love Gift.
Christ's Life, Death, and Resurrection; Sins Guilt, He did lift.
It's the straight and narrow way; eternal life there, paved.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
7) Our righteousness as filthy rags, of menstrual cloths of blood.
Our sins stain our garments there, like white clothes with mud.
Only God can quench the longing, that our souls there, crave.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
8) God's Standard is Perfection; no one on Earth, can pay.
Jesus Christ, the King Of Kings, The Truth, The Life, The Way.
The Only Way to Heaven there; for all, His Life, He Gave.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
9) The Gates Of Hell will not prevail against Christ's True Church.
The Holy Spirit guides us there, we're not left in the lurch.
And, we're not washed overboard, in every doctrine wave.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
10 For those who refuse to do, the thing God does require;
They will spend eternity, in The Lake Of Fire.
With Satan and his evil hordes, and demonic knaves.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
11) Have you repented of your sin, and made Christ Your Lord?
The Word of God is sharper than, any two edged sword.
God's Offer of Redemption ends, at death's entrance grave.
The Church is not a building, and it can't your soul, save.
