A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH
When I go in search
Of a NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH,
I don’t look to find
One of the kind,
Where people are not content
With what the Lord meant,
When he brake bread
And to his disciples said:
"Take and eat in memory of me,
As I do, so shall ye:"
Likewise also, The cup he took,
And as I read in the Book.
I see this pass from lip to lip,
After he drank, they all did sip;
Thus perfecting God’s holy will,
That all righteousness be fulfill (ed),
By a communion full and sweet
With our Lord and all who eat.
Alas, there are many who
This Bible way will not do
"WE’re the Church of Christ" they say;
But a NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH, are they?
