holy words Lyrics

There were only three churches in the middle of town

Used to be four but the fourth burnt down

Dad says it was gas, you could see it was fuming

Grandma says it's cause they used to drink at communion

There were only three churches in the middle of town

Used to be four but the fourth burnt down

Dad says it was gas, you could see it was fuming

Grandma says it's cause they used to drink at communion

There's a lesbian couple in the middle of town

Used to be a secret but they're married now

They used to go to church, but the pastor would call them

Both abominations right whenever they walked in

It's election season in the middle of town

Presidential rally shut the city down

A carpool was organized by one of the deacons

Signs say "I just need my guns and my Jesus"

It's hard for me to recognize

This beautiful thing I've seen with my eyes

Love the ostracized and lost

Now subtracting from the cross

Holy words and gentle hands

More than buildings, more than land

Churches sheltering the poor

Now they barricade their door

It's hard for me to recognize

This beautiful thing I've seen with my eyes

Love the ostracized and lost

Now subtracting from the cross

Holy words and gentle hands

More than buildings, more than land

Churches sheltering the poor

Now they barricade their door
