'The Church'

For upon a rock a church was built
and its foundations of faith are pure and true
like a wild flower under a scorching sun; it will not wilt;
a testament to the raging storms it overthrew.

And the wind shall mercilessly beat
but the Church shall remain unfazed,
For God's promise is forever lit
by His words that we all have embraced.

For God's promise is unwavering,
just like the heat the sun endows
unlike men who fly with spurious wings
only to fall from bough to bough.

No, the Church shall not crumble
nor will it viably fall in vain
for it was built upon a rock, not a pebble
and with it our God and our Savior shall forever remain.

For the church is the body of Christ,
where He shall ultimately save
Yes, it shall be mocked and criticized
but they shall never see the path it paves.

And as the world revolves
the day of Judgment imminently waits
for the heathens who He will dissolve
as they are locked out from heaven's gates.

And as we patiently wait for Christ's return
and His relentless saving grace
our faith will continue to thrive and burn
offering Him and the Lord God our thanks and praise.
