Lyrics
YOU ARE MY CHURCH L.Flowers/D.Liles
I get this feeling just looking in your eyes
Here?s a place a heart can safely dwell
Where love is all that matters and stones are never thrown
I can take off my mask and simply be myself
CHORUS :
You are my church
My haven come what may
My constant in the chaos
When the outside world invades
What I found when I found you
Is more than I deserve
You lift my spirits with your love
You are my church
You give me refuge when black and white turn grey
You restore my faith with your honesty
A harbor of a salvation in this world of craziness
In the promised land of your love I find a quiet peace
CHORUS :
Bridge :
Isn?t it amazing
We found each other in the crowd
And I thank God for the miracle
That we?re together now
CHORUS :
