The Bride Lyrics - Lecrae

Yeah she may look gritty 

When her man come back she gone look so pretty - She the Church 

You might see her acting crazy, be patient with her tho cause she still God's baby - She the Church 

Before you dis her get to know her, Jesus got a thing fo her and He died just to show her - She the Church 

She ain't bricks and buildings 

She all of God's people Men women and children - We the church 

She's a building of beings being constructed 

Christ is the cornerstone, foundation build on another and you's a goner holmes 

She' built on em, supported by him, conformed to him, now she's a body of bodies who transform through him 

A temple that breathes we are the halls, 

We are the floor board or more we are the walls 

Manifold wisdom of God no longer a mystery 

The church pinnacle of our salvific history 

One flesh union homie 

The Tri-union is glorified through our corporatized communion 

Still the present reality is she was born a casualty though she's made alive 

She's still affected by depravity 

Once lived in sin and enslaved by her lust and 

Folks catch her slippin and they turn away disgusted 

She's a work in progress Christ is the head of her 

And He wash her clean with the words that he done said to her 

She's already pretty but she's really not dressed and sometimes she look silly but she's far from a mess 

Yes, please so don't be dissin cause Jesus done paid grip an 

And if you didn't then should caller her Misses. I'm talking bout the church

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Her name is ecclesia meaning the assembly 

Bows to the Trinity No other Divinity 

A body family and community she is all one 

But on earth you see her in congregational small ones 

A microcosm or a small scale example 

But it is the church even though its just a sample 

Invisible spiritual 

Physical visible 

Not a brick temple never that simple 

This a not a building 

She is not bricks 

She's a world changer but ain't bout getting rich 

Perpetrating fakes cause a lot of folks to hate 

Plus her hands get dirty and her feet get scraped 

And sometimes her body parts start acting outta place 

Legs tryna be arms 

Arms thinking they the face 

But she'll never be replaced with a one man band or a small Taliban with no body in command 

Photos 

Some don't get it so they hate 

They say she's on a paper chase they say she's really fake 

So they go start a ministry so they can do the work 

But they don't understand how Jesus feel about His church 

And yeah they make disciples 

They got plenty conversions 

They take care of the widows and the orphans they be workin 

But none of them are churchin 

No church structure 

No elders and no discipline 

They have no conductor 

And they so they don't submit 

But quite a few of them baptize 

People how I pray that you'd look at this thing from God's eyes 

Take responsibility inside the whole council not just the area where you might have a mouthful 

Who should folks submit to 

Who will conduct the discipline 

If excommunicated what body will they be missing then 

Look at Ephesians 4 where Paul gets practical 

1st timothy and Titus if you thinking I'm irrational
