I want a New Church

(sung to the melody of "I want a new drug" by Huey Lewis)

I want a new church,
One that won't make me sick,
One that won't make me work the nursery,
Or make me feel like throwing a brick.

I want a new church,
One that won't hurt my kids
One that won't say the truth's a lie,
Or select leaders by bids.

One that won't make me guilty
Forgetting who I am
One that makes me feel like I am who I'm in you
Cause life is only in you

I want a new church
One where I can talk
One that don't charge too much
or stop when He says Walk.

I want a new church
One that sings loud
One that will let us wear our cloaks
And not teach heaven's a cloud

One that won't make me guilty
Forgetting who I am
One that makes me feel like I am who I'm in you
Cause life is only in You
Only in you, Jesus, yeah

I want a new church
One that does what it should
One that won't make me pray to Satan
"You're not welcome in this 'hood"

I want a new church
One that can handle my doubt
Handle me talking too much
and not cast me out

One that won't make me guilty
Forgetting who I am
One that makes me feel like I am who I'm in you
Cause life is only in you
Only in you, Jesus, yeah
