Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
When Jesus said I must build my church
He wasn't talking about no steeple
The church is not a building
But made up of all the people
In the Bible there was only
One church in every town
Believers united in Jesus
sharing this love they'd found
Denominations, splits and factions
Were never from the Lord
One town, one church, one body of Christ
All in one accord
Denominationalism is not of God
It was never to be
Just followers of Jesus with no walls in between
[Chorus]
We are one body
So why all the different names
We are one body
Playing denomination games
We are one body
But we fight about right and wrong
We are one body
So we better learn to get along
[Verse 2]
But man stuck his sticky little fingers
in the middle of it all
Dividing up the body
and building many walls
Sometimes I wish I could rip the name
right off the church marquee
Leaving just the word church behind
for everyone to see
There are no church names in heaven
So why bother with them now
In fact the sign at the gate of heaven says "denomination's not allowed"
[Chorus]
We are one body
So why all the different names
We are one body
Playing denominational games
We are one body
But we fight about right and wrong
We are one body
So we better learn to get along
[Chorus]
We are one body
So why all the different names
We are one body
Playing denominational games
We are one body
But we fight about right and wrong
We are one body
So we better learn to get along
[Chorus]
We are one body
So why all the different names
We are one body
Playing denominational games
We are one body
But we fight about right and wrong
We are one body
So we better learn to get along
