The Church Triumphant Video (MV)

Let the Church be the Church
Let the people rejoice
For we've settled the question
We've made our choice
Let the anthems ring out
Songs of victory swell
For the church triumphant, is alive and well

You know
This ship's been through battles before
The storms and the tempests and all
The rocks on the shore
Though the hull may be battered
Inside it's safe and dry
It's gonna carry it's cargo to
The port in the sky

God has always had a people
Many a foolish conqueror has
Made the mistake of thinking
That because he had
Forced the church of Jesus
Christ out of site, he
Had stilled it's voice and
Snuffed out it's life
But God has always had a people the powerful
Current of a rushing river is not
Diminished because it's forced to
Flow underground now
The purest water is the stream
That burst crystal clear into the sunlight
After it has forced it's way
Through solid rock there have been who like
Simon The Magician sought to barter
On the open market that power which
Cannot be bought or sold
But God has always had a people men who could
Not be bought and women who were beyond
Purchase god has always had
A people there have
Been times of affluence and
Prosperity when the
Church's message has been nearly
Deluded into oblivion
By those who sought to make it
Socially attractive, neatly organized
Financially profitable
But God has always had a people yes it's been
Gold platted
Draped in purple and encrusted with
Jewels it has been misrepresented, ridiculed
Lauded and scorned but God has always had
A people and these followers of
Jesus Christ have been, according to
The whim of the times
Elevated sacred leaders and
Modern heretics yet through it all
Their march is on that powerful army
Of the meek god's chosen people
Who cannot be bought, blabbered
Murdered or stilled
On through the ages they march
The church! God's church triumphant!

Listen child of God, it's
Alive discouraged pastor, it's
His church and it's still
Alive lonely missionary
Sow that seed with confidence
The church is still alive old saint
You're not alone or forgotten the
Church is still alive
It's alive my broken hearted friend
It's still alive busy mothers
Just keep trusting in
Jesus, the church is alive you're
Not alone out there, just keep
Looking to Jesus the church is
Alive and faithful fathers
There's rest in the Lord
God's church is still alive so family
Of God lift your hands, lift your
Hands and praise the Lord the church
God's church triumphant is alive
It's alive my friends alive and well
