Secret Church Lyrics - David Wilcox

This great cold steel that bars the way inside 

Was molten when the blacksmith was still living 

This dead heavy door that's oak by oak 

And all the way across is unforgiving 

The inscription tall on that pristine wall behind the steel so rusted 

Says, 'Love remains to break the chains of those who would dare to trust it' 

Meet me here any night there's a secret church 

That's gathered by these gates of steel 

A gathering of refugees enough to feel 

That we're warm inside with our candles in the wind 

We're standing on the outside of these walls alone 

The secret church feels taller than cathedral stone 

The doors may be locked but they're just doors 

Come be welcomed into so much more 

Come be welcomed into so much more 

Then the wind turned strong when the gathering was done 

And the chains upon the bars began to falter down to the floor 

From the center of the door fell the lock that was placed on the altar 

The inscription tall on the pristine wall behind the steel so rusted 

Says, 'Love remains to break the chains of those who would dare to trust it' 

Meet me here any night there's a secret church 

That's gathered by these gates of steel 

A gathering of refugees enough to feel 

That we're warm inside with our candles in the wind 

As we're standing on the outside of these walls alone 

The secret church feels taller than cathedral stone 

The doors may be locked but they're just doors 

Come be welcomed into so much more 

Come be welcome, come be welcomed into so much more
