Jesus Loves the Church

You say that You believe in us
At times I wonder why
You say You see the Father in our eyes
But I think if I were You, Lord
I'd wash my hands today
And turn my back on all our alibis

We fight like selfish children
For that special smile
We juggle with our gifts before Your face
And I know You look with sorrow
At the blindness in our eyes
As we trip each other halfway through the race

And we crucify each other
Leave a battered, wounded Bride
But Jesus loves the church
So we'll walk the aisle of history
Toward the marriage feast
For Jesus loves the church

I want to learn to love like You
I don't know where to start
I want to see them all but through Your eyes
For You believed enough to live
Amidst the maddened crowd
Enough to die before our very eyes

And we crucify each other
Leave a battered, wounded Bride
But Jesus loves the church
So we'll walk the aisle of history
Toward the marriage feast
For Jesus loves the church
Jesus, He loves the church

And we crucify each other
Leave a battered, wounded Bride
But Jesus loves the church
So we'll walk the aisle of history
Toward the marriage feast
For Jesus loves the church...
