CHORUS
This Is the Church of God, the Living God of Hosts,
The pillar and ground of all the truth;
This is the Bride of Christ, living in holiness
The pillar and ground of all the truth.
2
This is the Bride of Christ, the humble Lamb of God,
The one He purchased, bleeding on the wood block;
This is the Church of God, and of Christ our Savior,
And Christ has rescued her with his love.
3
This is the Bride of Christ, He's our Lord and Master,
She is now preparing to meet Him in heaven;
This is the Bride of Christ, our Faithful Redeemer.
She's always joyful singing His praise.

LOTW Carmen Gonzalez/ Eph 5.26 RESURGENCE/ Rev 2.10 HOPE
'Tis the Church of God the Living,
Pillar and Ground of the Truth;
Day and Night she's been preparing,
For the Kingdom so divine!
Without blemish, stain or wrinkle,
God will come to rapture Her.
CHORUS
The Lord's justice is the anthem
Of the faithful of His flock,
Let us follow in obedience,
By the hand of Jesus Christ.
2
In the Kingdom of the Heavens,
In the City of our God;
Neither liars nor deceivers
Shall be welcomed in its gates;
Now the Church must be preparing,
Clean your heart and all your soul.
