What If We Were the Church?

A song I wrote a few weeks ago. I can send you the chords if you're interested.

Verse 1
What if we were the Church?
The hope of the world
If we were Christ's Bride
Branches of the vine
If we were filled with the Spirit
One in heart and mind
What if we obeyed God rather than man?
What if we were the Church?

Verse 2
What if we were the Church?
The hope of the world
A chosen people
Priests and kings
If we were a holy nation
Belonging to God
What if we declared the praises of the One?
What if we were the Church?

Bridge
We would storm the gates of Hell
And set the captives free
Black and white and rich and poor
Serve in equality
The love of Christ shines through
For all the world to see
Not the culture but the cross
Our hope and victory
Victory
Our hope and victory.
What if we were the Church?

Verse 3
What if we were the Church?
The hope of the world
What if we lived together
And remembered the poor
If we fixed our eyes on Jesus
And carried the cross
What if we lived for God not ourselves?
What if we were the Church?

What if we were the Church?
