My Church

My Church should be a family Church

With doors that open wide

Inviting every lonely heart

To fellowship inside

My Church should be a lamp for those

Who somehow went astray

And even now, confused and hurt,

Need light along the way

My church should be less occupied

With ritual and greed

When simple Christian kindness is

By far the greatest need

And yet my Church, where God should dwell,

May never make a start,

Unless I first shall make a home

For Christ within my heart.
