You left the pews

By all the ones meant to
F Eb
Care for you

Thought they were family
F Eb
But now you’re alone
Gm
The silence is deafening
F Eb
You’re left with no home

Where is the love

Broken in pieces and
F Eb
Left at the door
Gm
Broken in pieces and
F Eb
Left at the door

They chose their country over the cross

Blind to the one to keep ninety nine lost

That God lives among the poor and unseen

In all of our church hurt

In all of our pain

In all the agendas we add to your name

If we’re starting over

He’s what we’re looking for

Trade in our worries

Trade in our fears

Let go of the lie

That we’ve wasted our years

If we’re starting over
F
Or walking away
Dm Eb
He’s what we’re looking for

In all of our church hurt
He’s what we’re looking for
When I’ve lost my way
