A congregation standing
Raising their voices in song
Praising the Lord with hands raised
Gathered in a sacred throng
This is the Church
A small gathering of people
Standing in the house of their Lord
Singing songs in Spanish
Praising the God they adore
This is the Church
A few families huddled together
Praying not to be found
Whispering their songs of praise
As they worship underground
This is the Church
All these people, joined together
As Christ’s beautiful Bride
Waiting to be taken Home
To the place He will provide
We are the Church

i think i told you this before, but this poem reminds me of the Newsboys song, He Reigns. i always think of singing to God in other countries, with people who can't understand what we're saying but whose hearts are worshipping too.
Yea, I was going to say that, too, about the Newsboys song. This is one of those poems that, after reading, makes you want to stand up and say, "I am a Christian!" It's kinda like the "Onward Christian Soldiers" song. You just want to go and march into battle.
*psst* I posted a new blog.
