Analysis of Church

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



A holy people and a starry steeple.
Evil breaks but life never forsakes.
A holy people and a starry steeple.
Evil forsakes but life never breaks.

I see the rays of everlasting joy!
I see the moon shining out yonder
And does deploy.
In the darkness our hearts beat.
I see mercy come down on me
Like many to treat.

A holy people and a starry steeple.
I see the collaboration of many feats.
I see these rays shining as treats,
Where the skillful shine and their
Heart beats.

A holy people and a starry steeple.
This is a place where the godly meet
And to heaven a treat.
This place is a church and is so neat!
