Cheer Up Church

His was a voice fueled by truth
He spoke to us of God's grace
In a way that we could understand
And take hold of

His was a life defined by grace
For a time and for a reason
And so we bow and give thanks to God
For the life of our brother

It's just like God to make a hero from a sinner
It's just like God to choose the loser, not the winner
It's just like God to tell a story through the weak
To let the Gospel speak through the life of a man
Who'll be the first to say

Cheer up, Church
You're worse off than you think
Cheer up, Church
You're standing at the brink
Don't despair, do not fear
Grace is near

It's just like God to make a hero from a sinner
It's just like God to choose the loser, not the winner
It's just like God to tell a story through the weak
To let the Gospel speak through the life of a man
Who'll be the first to say

Cheer up, Church
You're worse off than you think
Cheer up, Church
You're standing at the brink
Don't despair, do not fear
Grace is near

Don't despair, do not fear
'Cause grace is near
