This is my church This is where I heal my hurts It's in natural grace Or watching young life shape It's in minor keys Solutions and remedies Enemies becoming friends When bitterness ends This is my church This is my church This is my church This is my church This is where I heal my hurts It's in the world I've become Contained in the hum Between voice and drum It's in the change The poetic justice of cause and effect Respect, love, compassion This is my church This is where I heal my hurts For tonight God is a DJ For tonight God is a DJ This is my church
