The Church Is Holy

EPH 2:21-22

(Verse 1)

The church is holy, set apart

A dwelling place for God within our hearts

A chosen race, a royal priesthood we

A holy nation, called by him to be

(Chorus)

Oh, we are the church, the body of Christ

Redeemed by his blood, our sins dismissed

We're called to shine his light, to make him known

To be a beacon of hope, wherever we go

(Verse 2)

We're not of the flesh, but of the Spirit

Filled with his power, we can inherit

The promises he made, the blessings he holds

A life of joy and peace, a love that unfolds

(Chorus)

Oh, we are the church, the body of Christ

Redeemed by his blood, our sins dismissed

We're called to shine his light, to make him known

To be a beacon of hope, wherever we go

(Bridge)

We're called to proclaim his excellencies

To tell the world of his marvelous light

To be a generation that will not bow down

But stand up for truth, with love all around

(Chorus)

Oh, we are the church, the body of Christ

Redeemed by his blood, our sins dismissed

We're called to shine his light, to make him known

To be a beacon of hope, wherever we go

(Outro)

Posterity shall serve him, they shall proclaim

The goodness of the Lord, to every name

We'll tell the generations yet to come

The wonders of his love, the victory won
