[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
