{Chorus}
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
{Verse 1}
G
The church is not a building
C
The church is not a steeple
D G
The church is not a resting place
Am D
The church is a people
{Verse 2}
G
We're many kinds of people
C
With many kinds of faces
D G
All colors and all ages too
Am D
From all times and places
{Verse 3}
G
Sometimes the church is marching
C
Sometimes it's bravely burning
D G
Sometimes it's riding, sometimes hiding
Am D
Always it's learning
{Verse 4}
G
And when the people gather
C
There's singing and there's praying
D G
There's laughing and there's crying
Am D
Sometimes, all of it saying
{Verse 5}
G
At Pentecost
C
Some people received the Holy Spirit
D G
And told the Good News through the world
Am D
To all who would hear it
{Verse 6}
G C
I count if I am ninety or nine
Or just a baby
D G
There's one thing I am sure about
Am D
And I don't mean maybe
