Refrain:
I am the church! You are the church!
We are the church together!
All who follow Jesus, all around the world,
yes, we're the church together!
1 The church is not a building,
the church is not a steeple,
the church is not a resting place;
the church is a people! (Refrain)
2 We're many kinds of people,
with many kinds of faces,
all colors and all age, too,
from all times and places. (Refrain)
3 And when the people gather,
there's singing and there's praying;
there's laughing and there's crying
sometimes, all of it saying, (Refrain)
4 At Pentecost some people
received the Holy Spirit
and told the good news through the world
to all who would hear it. (Refrain)
