Jay Earl Krebs - The Experiment Lyrics

This experiment we call church
Is it for the young and old?
This experiment we call church
Can it keep our love from growing cold?

We're all just hurting people just trying to get by
Try to overcome our weaknesses and touch Him in the sky
Can we rise above the squabbles to receive a weary soul?
Did our striving for position leave a shameful hole?

This experiment we call church
Can it reach beyond the walls?
This experiment we call church
Can we hear the lonely call?

Every system has a story, traditions made in vain
Does our presence give Him glory? Do we cause our Jesus pain?
Can we hear Him in the chorus? Can we hear Him in the verse?
Will we know when He comes for us?
Is our hearing getting worse?
Ooh...

We're all just hurting people just trying to get by
Try to overcome our weaknesses and touch Him in the sky
Can we rise above the squabbles to receive a weary soul?
Did our striving for position leave a shameful hole?

This experiment we call church
Does it hurt the ones we love?
This experiment we call church
Is it true to God above?

Did we leave Him in the lobby? Did we leave Him in the rain?
Do we know He wants to dwell here? Dwell in every pain?
Can we see in the rafters? Can we see Him in the pew?
Did I just see a glimpse of Heaven wash all over you?

Ooh... Lord make this house Your home
Ooh... Lord make us all Your Own
This experiment we call church
