The church is maligned
It is mistreated and ill defined
Many would destroy it
It is the body of Christ
Men form it
Reform and control it
Seek to hold it
But Christ is its head
Hypocrites join it
Idiots misuse it
Some confuse it
But Jesus always will win
Power for presentation
Community for the desperate
Worker for the needy
Christ’s church will prevail
God inspires it
Christ leads it
People need it
The church belongs to God
