Would others truly want to go
to your church when they see
how you always rush to judge,
slander, and condemn others?
Would others truly want to go
to your church when untrue
malicious, heart-breaking gossip,
is your demonic weapon of choice?
Would others want to go to your church
when they see the harsh reality of how
others, who call themselves Christians,
truly talk about each other behind closed
doors from day to day and week to week?
Would others want to go to your church
in seeing how you love like Jesus?
Would others want to go to your church
in seeing how lavishly you forgive?
Would others want to go to your church
in seeing how graciously you encourage?
Would others want to go to your church
in seeing your generous hospitality?
Would others want to go to your church
in seeing how you live moment by moment?
Would others want to go to your church
in seeing how much divine hope you give?
Rise up church. Rise up church.
Rise up to be like Jesus.
Rise up church. Rise up church.
Rise up to be like Jesus.
Wonderful poem.
