CHURCH HURT Lyrics
(Written by Matt Hammitt and Sam Hart)

I still talk about it
I say I let it go
But when those four walls fall
They can crush a faithful soul
I used to be so trusting
I hung on every word
I thought I found my family
And then my whole world turned

When I felt that church hurt
So hard to put into words
Feeling stranded abandoned
Thought we would end up
With heaven on earth
Instead of this church hurt
We found ourselves down in the dirt
All of us imperfect people
Under a steeple
Just trying to do God’s work
And then there was church hurt

And lately I’ve been asking

Did I really put my faith
In someone higher than a person
In something bigger than a stage

When I felt that church hurt
So hard to put into words
Feeling stranded abandoned
Thought we would end up
With heaven on earth
Instead of this church hurt
We found ourselves down in the dirt
All of us imperfect people
Under a steeple
Just trying to do God’s work
And then there was church hurt

I’ve felt the kiss of Judas
My heart has been betrayed
But if we’re being honest
Lord, we’ve treated you the same

Cause you felt that church hurt
When your blood and tears hit the earth
When you were stranded, abandoned
All just to hand us heaven on earth
I know your heart hurts
I know that you felt it first
But you love imperfect people
Under a steeple
And you did the work
To heal this church hurt

Lord, heal your hurt church
