The church

I have come with one purpose 
to capture for myself a bride 
by my life she is lovely 
by my death she's justified 

I have always been her husband 
though many lovers she has known 
so with water i will wash her 
and by my word alone 

So when you hear the sound of the water 
you will know you're not alone 

Chorus:
'Cause i haven't come for only you
but for my people to pursue
you cannot care for me with no regard for her
if you love me you will love the church

I have long pursued her 
as a harlot and a whore 
but she will feast upon me 
she will drink and thirst no more 

So when you taste my flesh and my blood 
you will know you're not alone 

Chorus:
There is none that can replace her 
though there are many who will try 
and though some may be her bridesmaids 
they can never be my bride
