Lord, Build Your Church

You promised, Lord, that You would work
to build a strong and vibrant church—
a church that stands by grace alone
on Christ, our Rock and Cornerstone;
On Christ, our Rock and Cornerstone.

Chorus:
And so we pray: Lord, build Your church!
Deploy Your saints across the Earth;
Destroy hell's feeble, falling gates;
And glory in Your church's praise;
And glory in Your church's praise!

You called us, Lord, to join Your work:
To raise a pure and holy church—
a temple made of living stones
united as Your Spirit's home;
United as Your Spirit's home.

We thank You, Lord, that You have worked
to found a gospel-preaching church—
and yet, our task remains undone;
Lord, build Your church until You come;
Lord, build Your church until You come!
