[Hook:]   Yeah she may look gritty   When her man come back she gone look so pretty - She the Church   You might see her acting crazy, be patient with her tho cause she still God's baby - She the Church   Before you dis her get to know her, Jesus got a thing fo her and died just to show her - She the Church   She ain't bricks and buildings   She all of God's people Men women and children      [Verse 1:]   A building of beings being constructed   Christ is the cornerstone, foundation build on another and you's a goner holmes   She' built on em, supported by him, conformed to him, now she's a body of bodies who transform through him   A temple that breathes we are the halls,   We are the floor board or more we are the walls   Manifold wisdom of God no longer a mystery   The church is the pinnacle of our salvific history   One flesh union homie   The Tri-union is glorified through our corporatized communion   Still the present reality is she was born a casualty though she's made alive   She's affected by depravity   Once lived in sin and enslaved by her lust and   Folks catch her slippin and they turn away disgusted   She's a work in progress Christ is the head of her   And He wash her clean with the words that he done said to her   She's already pretty but she's really not dressed and sometimes she look silly but she's far from a mess   Yes, please so don't be dissin cause Jesus done paid grip an   And if you didn't then should caller her Misses. I'm talking bout the church      [Verse 2:]   Her name is ecclesia meaning the the assembly   Bows to (the Trinity) No other Divinity   A body family and community she is all one   But on earth you see her in congregational small ones   A microcosm or a small scale example   But yes it is the church even though it's just a sample   Invisible spiritual   Physical visible   Not a brick temple never that simple   This a not a building   She is not bricks   She's a world changer but ain't bout getting rich   Perpetrating fakes cause a lot of folks to hate   Plus her hands get dirty and her feet get scraped   And sometimes her body parts start acting outa place   Legs tryna be arms   Arms thinking they the face   But she'll never be replaced with a one man band or a small Taliban with no body in command      [Verse 3:]   Some don't get it so they hate   They say she's on a paper chase they say she's really fake   So they go start a ministry so they can do the work   But they don't understand how Jesus feel about His church   And yeah they make disciples   They got plenty conversions   They take care of the widows and the orphans they be workin   But none of them are churchin   No church structure   No elders and no discipline   They don't have a conductor   And they so they don't submit   But quite a few of them baptize   People how I pray that you'd look at this thing from God's eyes   Take responsibility inside the whole council not just the area where you might have a mouthful   Who should people submit to   Who will conduct the discipline   If excommunicated what body will they be missing then   Look at Ephesians 4 where Paul gets practical   1st timothy and Titus if you thinking I'm irrational
