Listen to this song by Flyleaf. It's a song about the church; the bride of Christ. Lyrics are under the video, just in case you can't tell what she's saying. Be sure to read them!
Beautified diversity, functioning as one body
Every part encouraged by the other
No one independent of another
You're irreplaceable, indispensable
You're incredible, incredible
Beautiful bride, body of Christ
One flesh abiding, strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division, beautiful bride
Strengthen your arms now, train your fingers for battle
Urgency's here now, train your fingers for battle
Fighting this violence with your feet wrapped in peace
Sad tears and silence, now screams of joy, victory
Beautiful bride, body of Christ
One flesh abiding, strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division, beautiful bride
Beautiful bride, body of Christ
One flesh abiding, strong and unifying
We're not gonna fall and forget
How far you went to pick us up
If one parts hurt the whole body's sick
If one part mourns we all mourn with him
Rejoice, we'll sing with you
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Beautiful bride, body of Christ
One flesh abiding, strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division, beautiful bride
Beautiful bride, body of Christ
One flesh abiding, strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division, beautiful bride
The church I attend is small, but honestly, I wouldn't go to any other church. Everyone is close, and we hold each other up.
That's what church is for! We are supposed to help each other and keep one another on the right track. When one part is hurt, the whole body is sick. If one part mourns, we all mourn with him.
Think about that when you go to church this week, and be thankful for the body of Christ.
Hope you have a good week!
Ah Gabby! I love this! It expresses God's love for his church and how the church should love each other really well. Hope your week is good as well!
